It's a very well executed drawing.

Do we know much about German doctrine of the time about a ship's boat complement? It seems like there's a lot of potential hangar space that's being lost, particularly in a war-expedient design that would not be expected to be a luxury barge in peacetime.

I don't have the words to say how much I love the battlecruiser and its carrier counterpart. The Bv-155 carrier fighter is a neat touch too.

Hello again

Thanks everyone - especially erik! You're perfectly right, that would have to be expected. The Seydlitz conversion project also massively cut back on boat complement compared with the Zeppelin, so I deleted some of the boats and added hangar ventilation shutters.

Greetings
GD

Hi GD,

Lovely drawings, as always!

Do you have any stats / specs on what appears to be a height-finder radar on the carrier's mast? Not sure I've seen that before...

Regards,
Ad

Hi again

@apdsmith:

Plans of Graf Zeppelin show the same installation. My interpretation was two passive radar receivers mounted next to each other. Probably even for a reason; I'm however no electronics expert and can't really say why they were mounted that way.

Greetings
GD

We take it you are spending so much time on the overhead GD, that it is going to be more awesome than the side views.

Hi GD,

I'm no expert myself, but the thin, tall setup had me thinking of Wasserfall:



Presumably, with a transmit side and a receive side?

EDIT: Yeah, that is total speculation, I just can't see a reason for a passive receiver to have that sort of antennae geometry - it's going to have blind spots out to the sides of the mattress, surely? A tracking antenna would be a dish or Yagi, no?
