If you really want to RP as '60s USN, why not just RP as the USN in the '60s? I'm sure you could interest any region-mates in doing a past-tech RP for teh canonz, or go on P2TM and drum up interest for a '50s-'60s cold-war-gone-hot scenario. Then it would be at least somewhat more reasonable to still have WWII stuff drifting around (huehuehue) and those A-1s would be decently capable without any massive upgrades.

I currently have five aircraft carriers (four nuclear, one '70s conventional) for a largely counter-offensive scenario. Though I think I will also (retroactively) add some kind of small ASW helicarrier/helicopter destroyer, maybe have it double as an LHD.
