Here is a live link, I hope.

Those are two names that have a great naval tradition behind them.

That's a pretty unusual looking carrier. Two islands?

Thanks for sharing.

That is an interesting shape. Make an interesting build some day in the future. Good vhoice in names. Naval tradition is important. Look at all our "enterprises" a couple Lexingtons, Yorktowns.
