The drawings look very good - thanks Tinwing.The only thing is that rudder looks way too small! It should be at least 1/50th of the underwater side area.Say a water line length of 870 ft x 34 ft draft = 29920 sq. ft. divided by 50 = 600 sq. ft Allowing for the draft (34 ft) the rudder would be about 25 ft deep then it should be about 24 ft long.As it's an aircraft carrier with a huge amount of windage, my guess is that the rudder would probably be made at least 20% bigger than this.Probably it would be about twice the area of that shown on the drawing.
