Here's a pic of part of the Yorktown's bridge as she rests 3 miles under the Pacific Ocean.

Hey, Heretic-

No disrespect, but I hope you are not referring to not liking CVNs!  Thery are fanastic - lots of hot water for showers, and acceleration like a Porshe!

I simply said I prefer the CV/CVAs over CVNs.

And even if I said that I didn't like CVNs...why should you care? ;)

I got the impression he was refering to his interest in a series of carrier's that predated the the nuclear carrier's not that he didn't like them.  For example, I really like the B-17 much more than those big ugly jet bombers of today.  Thats not to say I don't like the jets...I just am much more interested in the B-17.
