This was my first thought too. And that turret is goddamned huge.

Below the face of the turret looks like the perfect shot trap.
Look who, outside the USA, is building carriers, or carrier like ships, today. China, India, Japan, Korea. They all have their own established shipbuilding industries to support and, in the case of the first two, much cheaper labour cost. France pulled out of a joint venture with Britain to provide the French Navy with a new carrier.The British should have kept their Aircraft Carrier Alliance program. They could be making carriers for half the West by the 2030s.
If recent western tank design is anything to go by, the large rear turret bustle probably contains the full ammo load as it is safer for the crew if the tank gets hit. In Leo 2 only part was in the bustle with the rest in the hull.This was my first thought too. And that turret is goddamned huge.

Carrier B was never named, just Carrier A as Graf ZeppelinCount Zeppelin and Peter Strasser were notable for the German Airship service, which is why the carriers bore their names.
Because flugzeugträger "A" was christened and launched (8 December 1938) and flugzeugträger "B" was never launched, therefore never christened (named).Carrier B was never named, just Carrier A as Graf Zeppelin
As long as we're off thread, you think a reactivated Essex would be as effective as a theoretically operational Admiral of the Russian Fleet Kusnetsov? I was looking at the war's effect on arm sales in another thread. I was wondering if India would be better off with one instead of a Russian design. And I'm bored.
They're making their own (look up INS Vikrant).As long as we're off thread, you think a reactivated Essex would be as effective as a theoretically operational Admiral of the Russian Fleet Kusnetsov?

You really don't, trust me on this...Guess I needed a Buick emblem in my face.
Well, it looks like this one doesn't have the design flaws of the original of the same name. The outside integration and control seems F-35ishBack to the KF51 Panther, here is the brochure on it with detailed info include crew layout and new specialist position:
Whatever the name, it looks a whole lot better than the Russian K14 which looks like a big target with its own shot traps.With those lines up front, perhaps "Tiger" would have been a better fit?
