>off to you G for the research you did on the Gerry Ford class.Credit where it's due, the CVN-80 shipgirl seen in this episode was Phil's introduction; I just looked up some facts about the real ship to drop into the annotations, and extrapolated the UF-universe history about the reactors and the last-before-spaceflight thing.
Personally, I think the Ford class looks a bit weird with the island so far aft, but I have to admit that doesn't look near as daft to me as the new British carriers that have two islands. What the actual?
--G.
I read somewhere that the QE class's second island is to hide the second smokestack. What was wrong with just having a smokestack?
