Saw this question asked on CD, thought I'd seek you guys opinion as well. Why hasn't anyone tried a double decker aircraft carrier in the last few decades? I know it's been tried before, but that was many decades ago, would current technology justify its use? This could potentially allow for quicker simultaneous landing and takeoffs (still angle the landing deck, so aircrafts taking off and touch-and-go don't collide), and takeoffs could potentially be quicker if the hangar and the takeoff areas are on the same deck.

Because landing on a second deck below would be almost suicidal if the pilot doesn't have room to bail out in case of emergency.

The landing deck would obviously be on top.

... considering the Ford (CVN-78) price tag has exceeded 13 bil already LOL

That is literally the most ridonkulous carrier CG I have ever seen.
