Functionality aside,
what are your thoughts on the aesthetics of a ship with an angled flight deck vs one that is straight (or mostly straight) through.
examples Angled


straight (mostly straight)

i’ll argue the QEC is mostly straight since both sides are mostly proportional

When it comes to the aesthetics of the ship, (and few things have such potential for elegance as a warship of any era) I think you need to ask sailors rather than aviators.

i dont think its going to be a pretty sight if anyone misses the g string on the first pic.
pretty is as pretty does and i prefer the angled ship

Pretty???????????? Do you realize how functional a carrier with a canted deck really is?
