Operations from this monster look to be difficult at best. |

Not quite - it isn't the original Gibbs&Cox design. It's close but the layout of the secondaries is different. |

I must ask- the aircraft forward... what are they parked on, exactly? As they are tail-draggers, they should be falling off the edge of the deck from the looks of things! |

Many carriers had outriggers so the tailwheel could hang over the side and saving deck space in the process. It's a plausible what-if, discussions were held by the US Government about the Gibbs design, whether it could be built for the Soviets and requistioned in wartime by the USN. Had this been under construction in 1941 near completion its likely that the USN would have requisitioned her, briefly at any rate. |

Is that carrier deck long enough for Avengers and the sons of bitches? |
