      I was a little surprised to see this in the story:
      "The model is based on the USS Forrestal, a supercarrier in service in the Atlantic from 1951 to 1993. Part of the authenticity of the model came from a little gift from the Navy. After they found out about the project, officials at the Navy gave Shaw the original blueprints, allowing him to construct it down to the most minute detail."

        Well, it'd be interesting to see which blueprints they gave him. "Blueprints" covers a whole lot of territory, Literally, this case.
        “He was the most prodigious personification of all human inferiorities. He was an utterly incapable, unadapted, irresponsible, psychopathic personality, full of empty, infantile fantasies, but cursed with the keen intuition of a rat or a guttersnipe. He represented the shadow, the inferior part of everybody’s personality, in an overwhelming degree, and this was another reason why they fell for him.”
