being an ex-squid that has spent many days and nights on the flight deck of the Eisenhower, this is very exciting to me!!

Ditto. I've spent many nights on many carriers (Kitty Hawk, Lincoln, Carl Vinson, Constellation, and Nimitz).

Ok, here is a test, aft weapons elevator where does it take you?

Hmmm, I wonder if the kitty-hawk class is fitted out the same?

I use to be able run blue bells in my sleep. I still have vivid dreams of deployments and can walk pretty much the whole ship in my head. I hope they are layed out the same.

ditto to the connie and the ranger.

I wasn't permanently deployed on any of them. I was a DP after all, and have no idea where elevators go but to the weap mags.

Heather has mentioned that on the lower flight deck they have cut out a large square hole that drops down multiple levels. This is going to make things a lot easier to get to CIC and other locations on lower decks. I am not sure if they cut through any forward bulkheads or not?

I have walked the Lexington in Corpus three times and will probably walk her this summer in detail to try and get certain numbers. It's a big ship!
I could see where, I could spend some serious time planning, checking and executing dives on this site.

Could we nominate Heather as onsite rep for this group- since it’s in her backyard and we know she is active with its sinking? -Heather?

Later, Andrew

OK, I gotta ask. the boat on the deck as it went down. They try for a two for one?

Has no-one noticed?

Cool as that would be I think the article mentioned something about it housing batteries and generators to fire the charges... seems alittle tight after blowing £20mill on the project but was entertaining to see it it survived from one picture to the next!

IIRC we have a wreck off the East coast of the UK, (its a large cargo vessel) that has a second wreck, (sunk much later) thats landed right in one hold, a little fishing boat, Bonus!

It was probably placed on the boat by the chaps in MYTHBUSTERS.
