A new photo of the island assembly being constructed. It is in front (bow) of the carriers drydock, and a pic showing the funnel openings. Also, note how the outline of the flight deck is almost complete! :) With cats and AEW planes she should become the most combat capable carrier, after the NIMITZ class. DFO

Two more fairly clear views, both showing numerous large "modules" alongside waiting for assembly onto the carrier............ ;) Island is visible under the white "shed". DFO

The last two LARGE pieces of angled flight deck (in previous pic-on dockside) have now been installed on CV-003. The ? is: what type of cats are the 3? Steam......or "magnetic"??? ;) DFO
