Re: Ideal chinese carrier thread

Ok, on the topic of supercarriers, here's someone else's idea:

Pretty cool me thinks.

And now for something completely different! Well almost. Some clever bloke already had my central bridge idea (each link is a different concept):

Re: Ideal chinese carrier thread

We already tried the concept of a central island; it didn't work. That ship was HMS Furious, of 1917 vintage. The island caused turbulence for aircraft landing which made landing difficult for aircraft, and as such, in 1922, she went into drydock to have the island removed.

Also, the starboard landing strip roughly equates to vessels fitted with portside islands (two Japanese WWII CVs, Akagi and Hiryu), which suffered a higher accident rate tham conventional CVs. Islands are on the starboard side because pilots who encounter problems on landing have a tendancy to veer to port, and if there is an island in the way...

Re: Ideal chinese carrier thread

Hi guys!

I took a little holiday from the forum..I'm back.

I can't see how that x deck CV would work. It would be an air traffic controller nightmare. The deck handling of aircraft would be difficult and require IMO a highly trained crew...Not to mention pilots that are in a landing pattern that no CV pilot has ever attempted. Looks nice. But I don't see it working smoothly. It takes more than computers and electronic gizmos to operate a real aircraft carrier....It takes highly trained sailors that have an actual heart beat.
