Very cool idea, I like it!

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Hoops games happen all the time on aircraft carriers, but Tuesday officials from the Navy, the NCAA and Morale Entertainment met to discuss staging a major college basketball game on the aircraft carrier USS Carl Vinson.

The "Carrier Classic," as the game has been dubbed, would be the first televised college basketball game of the season for ESPN

That is a great idea and it should serve as a welcome distraction to those on board and others who are on board other ships in the carrier group!

I can explain it to you but I can't understand it for you.

Better bring extra basketballs because I am not going for the loose balls out of bounds.

My guess is that it would
be in the hanger, not the flight deck.

Looks like the game is on for Friday in San Diego. On deck if there is no rain. Wind could be a problem though.

The NCAA has to love that the NBA isn't playing this month.

Can they modify the catapults for a little extra lift on the dunks?

Time laps video, eight days in the making and very impressive! I found the "music" annoying so I recommend muting this video, still very impressive without the sound track.
