Having served on Truman for five years :, I was just of the understanding that the numbers on the bow and the island were simply the ship's hull number. I'm not if the pilots could use the large 75 to sight their approaches, but good on 'em. They usually have GPS and updates from CATCC on approach.In my ship's case, her hull number was 75. A fun fact about that: Truman is the only carrier in all the Fleet that wears her hull number, 75, on the FRONT of the island. No other carrier has that distinction.Bagera, I saw your art of the USS United States stealth carrier. Great job.So here's another fun Truman fact: the Truman was originally laid down in 1989 as the USS United States (CVN-75). In 1993 President Clinton, whose hero was Harry S. Truman, authorized Congress to change CVN-75's from USS United States to USS Harry S Truman. And the rest is history.Moonbat
