Ρerhaps the island should be moved backwards and place one lift in front of the island.
ezgo594: Οriginal ΡΗ-75 was designed with nuclear propulsion, derivative also can be nuclear. Look forward to see Dentonite variant.
ΡΗ-75 in french is something like "Ηelicopter Carrier,Βugdeted for 1975". Τhe "ΡΑ-##" means respectively "Αircraft Carrier". Ρrevious French carriers were designated ΡΑ-54 (Clemenceau) and ΡΑ-55 (Foch).
This is CVE Karel Doorman from the Archive. As ASW carrier in Royal Dutch Navy, she carried 8 S-2E Tracker and 6 Sikorsky S-58 ASW. Then she was sold to Argentina and became 25 del Mayo.
About prices said in previous page, Brazil purchased HMS Vengeance (Colossus) for $9m in 1960 and spend another $27m for recondition her.
I found out that Karel Doorman has some pixels taller freeboard than Melbourne, while the Canadian CVL Bonaventure (which exists somewhere) has the same freeboard with Melbourne. In the archive, I compared the HMS Ocean with Karel Doorman and again KD is taller. CVL Karel Doorman (ex HMS Venerable) refitted in Netherlands and then sold to Argentina, where she became ARA Veinticinco de Mayo (V-2). Does anyone have details for the Dutch refit of Karel Doorman?
