Re: Ideal chinese carrier thread

The US are reducing from a number of four arresting gear down to three. I think, a second landing strip is counterproductive.

This is a fictious design based on a conversion of a large container ship design. Two get the two cats, you had the two forward decks. The extension of both to the rear was as much for mass and deck balancing (Parking, traffic, etc.) as it was for the potential for two lanind ares.

What I mean is that the newest Nimitz-Carrier has only three arrestor wires to reduce the number of crew necessary. So it is not attractive to build a modern carrier with to runways and may be six or old fashion eight arrestor wires.

It's not built to be attractive, but functional. If you reduce the arrestor wires to three, that's okay. But as I said, it is a design that could be mass produced from a container ship design with a lot of capability therefore very cost effective. That is all.
