Default Potential Unit Idea... Aircraft Carrier

It has probably been mentioned though after hours of browsing these forums I thought I would make a mention of it to those skilled modders out there. I don't mod but I appriciate all the work that goes into them. The great the bad and the ugly they all took time and effort. Grats to you all!

Now..Here's my idea.

1. Merge both Building Unit and Vehicular Units. I don't know how hard coded this is but I feel that there could be potential here with some playing around.
An aircraft carrier to me is basically a moving base. WIth upgrading parts you can add to it.

- Basic aircraft carrier can do things like use radar and create basic jets or aircraft (dog fighters or strike bombers). Of course there is limited space on each carrier. perhaps a supply drop depo on the unit as well.
- Upgrades can include Carrier defense systems from scuds or nukes or antiaircraft turrets.
-Carrier could create infantry for beach raids. Also infantry transports from sea land.
-artillery barrage on timer to cause havoc on land bases.
- other creatable aircraft units could include spy planes and hercules Planes for infantry drops or transporting vehicles. Few forms of Helicopters from apache to comache's.
- Carriers could also hold tanks, humvees, rocket buggies blah blah blah. up to a limited amount.

Now that being said:

Pros: All in one base. Hard to target from land. difficult to destroy.
Cons: Cost a ton to build one and upgrade. And if destroyed all air, land, infantry units on or inside the carrier would be lost as well.

Adding this unit to all countries would be a great idea I feel, But I imagine the difficulty in accomplishing this task. Is it possible?

Also...
It would be great to see one of these in an unofficial mission ex-pack for britain or another naval capable country. Russia might be a good country as well.
