One more.

Amazing how a LHD and a LHA in the foreground would make a 85K-ton CV not seem that big.

Anyone ever wonder why the port side dotted lines are so much wider than the starboard lines? It's almost as if the designers intentionally don't want the waist cat to be occupied while landings are taking place, even by a fighter with wings folded.

I think the foul lines for the landing strip consider that an aircraft on approach may show abnormal positioning to port rather than starboard. This arrangement is identical on USN carriers. A guess.
