Yeah again a nice aviation gateway ! for smoke and drink French wine
haha things completely not allowed on a warship 
I understand why one waist cat and one bow cat. . Something to do with simultaneously launch and recovery.
I like the ship Obi Wan. I'd remove the lift behind the island, it's seldom used at sea, and add a lift aft on the port side...but that's just me.
This guy has been reading my copy I posted long ago...
I posted a similar thought long ago on AUG.22.2006..

I'd move the island back, like on the Ford. Have two elevators forward of the island starboard, and the elevator aft on the port side.
I was just trying to adapt the basic design without scrapping and starting from scratch, which gets MEGA expensive and long winded. I deleted the forward island to appease American tastes and routed the exhausts from the forward GT horizontally at flight deck level. I would probably go further and add some form of IR shrouding and dispersal for the exhaust. The aft island then gains an enlarged bridge (it already has and emergency bridge fitted, just as the forward island has an emergency Flyco capacity.
Doing these changes produces a ship design that can be put into production fairly quickly. More drastic changes mean more delays of course, and the idea of the exercise was to produce more carriers for the USN to supplement the Fords and Nimitz's in a reasonable timescale. Of course, you could always dust off the old CVV plans from the late 70s...
The CVF design internally is to be honest far more advanced, so perhaps mating the CVV flight deck layout with the CVF hull might be the way to go. I'm looking forward to hearing the opinions of the USMC Lightning pilots and crew who deploy aboard Big Liz in a few years, they seem to enjoy sailing with the RN a lot better than being on the 'Gators'.
