The drawing is very attractively rendered! That said, it seems to suffer from a fatal flaw: a lack of freeboard. Thirteen feet relative to the floor of the hangar, and only six feet relative to the RHIB aft. The ship does not seem survivable in a heavy sea even in an undamaged condition. She might be taking green water into various hull openings even in Sea State 5. That's not an outright show-stopper, but it's contrary to all aircraft carriers I know about, and I assume their designers know more than I do. |

Agreed. And the draft should be deeper to counterbalance the above water weight.

Apart from the draft issue, it’s a lovely design that reminds me of the CVV design from the 70’s. This would be my option to add to the US Navy to increase carrier numbers. |
