10 ELEVATORS? What a waste of space!

Also, seems that radar equipment is seriously lacking. And guns are in questionable pattern.

Why there are no crew on deck? And where are lifeboats?

Lifeboats? That's defeatist talk! You don't need lifeboats on an invulnerable ship, sir. It couldn't possibly sink.

Why would the elevators rise up ABOVE the flight deck?
Is is a case of when one goes down, another goes up???



The elevator has two floors. Two planes at a time load onto it from two different hanger decks, then it unloads them on the flight deck one at a time!


As actually installed in Kaga. Readily apparent in the frequently reproduced shot of KdB en route Hawaii.

I guess that construction of such a ship IRL would have posed some 'interesting' problems for the shipyard.


3 shipyards, just bolt them together.

Its further development would be 2 big zippers (or velco) which would allow it to convert into 2 CV and a BB for navigating small bodies of water like the Indian Ocean,

Zippers....

And who would be doing the pulling, might I ask? Godzirra? Mothra? Moby Kamikaze?

That might actually be a useful design with armored decks. A quadriplegic fruit fly could land a bomb on that deck.

Oh yeah, gravely mistake.

It is obvious this ship can split into, at least, 3 parts, so damage of one DO NOT lower its efficiency.

That thing there seems to be a trimaran.

Which begs the question... the US Navy has studied several times the idea of using a catamaran or trimaran hull for aircraft carriers, given the huge area they can provide. Yet they always gave up on that and continued with the traditional single-hull carrier design that has been in place since 1950.

I've read the main concern has been about a catamaran's ability to resist asymetrical damage - problem a trimaran would certainly avoid. Anyone knows more about that?



If memory serves, all US carriers are designed to be able to pass through the Panama Canal.

The Essex class was the last which could fit. Midway, Forrestal, etc. had to go around the Horn.

Not the Midways and later. The post-Iowa BBs were also too wide.

Post Iowa BBs? You mean literally after Iowa in the Iowa class?

Yep. 121 ft beam. The Midways were 113 ft.

They built a class since the Essex?

My wife likes boats. In the army, we fly over, parachute in, fly supplies in, fly troops out. Boats are for squids and women
