Yes. The moment any model maker starts taking advanced order for one...I will be all over it.I think you have some plans for a Ford...

Based on a discussion we were having in the PLAN carrier thread, I thought it would be good to post my response here too.
The initial Enterprise and Long Beach aperture radars were far ahead of their time...and the technology of the time ended up just not being able to support it.
So, the Enterprise went from this in the mid 1960s:
to this in the late 1970s until 2012 when she was decommissioned.:
You can see the aperture radars in the 1st pic, and the man radar on top of the deck house in the second.
And the Long Beach (which did not serve nearly as long as the Enterprise) went from this in the mid 1960s:
to this in the early 1970s through 1995 when she was decommissioned:
Again, you can see the aperture radars on the sides of the deck house in the first, replaced by the radar above the deck house, on the mast, in the second.
The APARs used by the Chinese on the Liaoning are working just fine by all accounts...better than the Russian system...which itself did not work that well on the Kuznetsov.
Here is the Liaoning Island with its APARs.
Here is the Kusnestov Island with its APARs.

The Aussies could be doing that too one day, though with the recent decisions it is less likely.
