Fascinating. I'm not totally sure I understand the size and location of the hangar.

Great work! I've never seen this before either. Its an odd design (as most private-venture warships seem to be), three lifts for such a small airgroup seems wasteful of deck space inside the hangar. Surely the freeboard was far too low and the pitching in rough weather would be too severe for use in the Atlantic. Comparing with the MACs Bombhead has drawn shows the differences in size and concept. Its an interesting project to discover though.

Oh, wow... a little bit bugfuck crazy, but very interesting indeed. I wonder if there's any precedent for a ship having a hangar space considerably below the waterline...

what kind of engines were on board? diesel, I suppose?
also, do you have anything on her waterline beam? and her depth (distance from keel to main deck, in this case I think the flight deck)?

Fascinating addition with extremely interesting background, and of course great work on the drawings themselves!

How on earth were they going to get all six ac in the hangar without having the elevators lowered?
