The image shows an interesting deck layout: it appears there is a usable area on either side of the island. I think a discussion of the layout is needed! Maury 22:14, 15 December 2005 (UTC)

Why was there a "stigma" attached to carriers? Bastie 09:40, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

The Government of the time didnt want to spend alot of money on defence and concentrated on domestic matters. Read the 1966 white paper they cancelled the TSR as well which was one of the worst aviation mistakes ever. The cost was a major reason the word "carrier" says expensive really but "through deck curiser" says some sort of technological breakthrough when in fact it means "anti submarine Carrier". Thats why i think the royal navy's "future surface combatant" was cancelled but basically the same day they started a new project called "medium vessal derivative" with the same team.
