Oil rig, like pic related

kinda missed opportunity to as it is under-armed. It only has M2 HMGs and 40mm AGLs for defence. It should have at least a 57mm naval gun as well as a couple 30mm gun

Carrier

An oil rig is a sitting duck for missiles, torpedoes and special forces raids
>>
>>29823300
Tbhfamaroo a carrier is a sitting duck for all of those without its battlefam cruising with it.

That being said I'll take a REAL (read: American) carrier as well. Bigger, mobile and especially if it comes with jets and choppers.

Carriers can move.

That already makes them a much much worse target.

>"MEC Special Forces have launched an attack on the USS Essex Aircraft Carrier. Their intelligence was impeccable, allowing them to coordinate their assault with only a skeleton crew of U.S Navy SEALs onboard. Even so, the SEALs are well equipped and prepared to put up a fierce fight in defense of their ship, affectionately referred as "The Iron Gator". This close quarters fight inside the halls of the carrier will be won by the team working as coordinated squads and practicing superior infantry tactics."

Neither. Go full roaming island chain made from garbage. A homeless guy can do it on a scavenger budget. Imagine what can be done with purpose?

Mulitiple island cells linked by flexible bridge cables.
Some islands built around barges converted to work shops.
Boats hidden between islands under tree canopy.
Plant based innawoods islands to raise animals and crops, blocks spy satellites/drones.
Seacrete (floating concrete slabs) bases wave break/barrier wall islands.
Sand covered beach platforms.

All modular and constantly shifting. You now have an island chain that can be steered roughly with fishing boats or built in engines. It can change formation going from a clumped blob to a long string with wave break islands up front facing a storm, or can be broken into multiple clusters separating and recombining later.

Hard to target and sink something like this directly just specific spots that may not be in the same place twice. You have to guess where the command center could be and when it would be there. Good luck invading a living labyrinth which is controlled by the natives.

"Were being raided! Sound the alarm!"
Every section breaks loose and starts spinning in circles. Seals find themselves now operating in a jungle carousel being sniped at from every angle with each revolution. Then some ballast is dropped and the jungle flips over in 25 foot round sections randomly.

Multiple oil rigs connected together hosting airfields, berthing for ships from the smallest perimeter patrol boats to the largest supertanker, VLS bays hosting thousands of interceptor and strike missiles, a marine base, sub pens, and a McDonald's.

who would want to live kilometers under the earth, with the danger of being somehow trapped? without fresh air or sun?
