I ask do any one is working on or have the USS Forrestal (CV-59) on there to do list?

If yes then forget I asked.

If no then I like to begin work on it.
I plan to make a side and top view of it.

I know that It will be a challenge, and that is why I chose it.
My first real shipbucket project was a Barque sail training ship

aside from the fact that the sail look like they are made of paper I am quite proud of it.

It has not been drawn - good luck.

thanks I will need it...

Also has anyone got any pictures of the Forrestal coaxial flight deck? I heard it was design at first with out the angled deck and only given one after it was given a go ahead, for constructon.

The USS Forrestal was designed with an angled deck from the start.
I think one of the cancelled United States class carriers might have been named Forrestal though.

Source Materiel is always welcome.

sorry to say, but according to Friedmans, that is incorrect Thiel.




hope these help (also from Friedman's US Carriers)

Thank You for the pics acelanceloet.

I was on a work trip, I will start work on this interesting and revolutionary design.

Forrestal is almost equal in its importance to naval architecture, to HMS Warrior or the HMS Dreadnought.

An ambitious undertaking, so I wish You a good luck!
