They are actually incredibly much more rigid than they look, and the weight is spread out over a huge area, so not really. I've only used the teeny tiny version of this rated for 12 tons, not that 70-ton monstrosity, but it handled quite well given the fact that the two engines and steering is entirely separate and operated independently, with just the ferry commanders verbal commands to coordinate. In the 12-ton variant those engines were manually operated 40hp Evinrude outboards on each of the outer pontoons.  Also works as a makeshift berth for zodiacs in between the pontoons.  (Disclaimer: NOT for open water, the class 12 is for placid rivers and lakes only. Any wave breaking over the bow will sink the vessel.)

 Found this gem in a AF JROTC office today. Ah yes, Pearl Harbor, notable failure of American Air Dominance. If only we'd had F-22s. Genuinely curious, is there a better example that could be used? Have we ever...not? Vietnam maybe?

There are plenty, certainly throughout Vietnam. Linebacker I/II (1972) saw a credible SAM threat with thousands of SA-2s fired with dozens of aircraft downed. Dumb poster is dumb. Pearl Harbor may not be an air dominance failure but there was a radar at Pearl Harbor that gave a 41 minute heads up about the incoming planes which was ignored. Today that sort of detection and/or response/intercept would be within the realm of roles the F-22 fills.

It's a solid example, visually and from an importance standpoint. One glance at that poster gets the point across, even if you don't know anything about Pearl Harbor. Schweinfurt doesn't make a good poster because it's an abstract concept, not an easy visual. "X bombers left, a lot fewer returned" doesn't land like ship exploding. This is going to be the same problem for basically any offensive operation. With defense air operations, we run into a funny problem: the USAF has historically been very good at this, so there straight up AREN'T any good examples from recent history. The last American troops killed by a foreign air strike were on April 15, 1953 replacing Pearl Harbor with the WTC would be amazing. But everyone's heard of Pearl Harbor. Even most high school kids can probably tie it to the US joining WWII. So it's recognizable, visually impressive, and a simple message. That's tough to beat. Would it sound less tacky if they stuck with "air superiority" for the slogan?

I think its mostly that in the era of high res satellites and smart phones, the jig was up around 2005. Its still best practice but you can't get much metallurgy data out of a photo, and the shape has been optimized with CFD anyway.

Why not have a burner screw to put on a sub, let photos of it "leak" so the 10lb brains make acoustic estimations of it. Then before actually launching it, put the real screw on.
