    I assume the flight ops tower is the one aft? The other one can't see both elevators.

    One story I heard that they were blaming the gas turbine locations for the ducting, each island has an exhaust funnel.

    I believe all plans of CATOBAR have been abandoned at this point due to cost and time constraints. ( https://fullfact.org/articles/how_do..._carrier-27178) I am curious as to why the have separated the flight ops and ship's navigation into two different island superstructures. It seems like a waste of deck space unless something else in the ship's structure dictated it.

    Hopefully, she and her sister ship POW have long service lives and don't end up 'paid off' or sold off before their time.
