You can stop with the WAFU comments How many people do you need in ATC, yes we could only get three or so people in the office on Lusty or Vinnie but we didn't have any problems. But to be fair, they didn't really have a lot of deck to see, with only 5 spot out of view directly aft of the island. The thing that really worked with the old style islands was that physical connection, where, if comms went down, you could just walk to atco in the dry to talk to boss and lil boss. I like the idea of smaller islands but I just hate the idea of the two. If the US crews can organise 4.5 acres of deck with 80+ aircraft on it, then surely the Thales should have been able to design something practical in a similar manner?
He, he :lol:I'm now a Battlespace Architect, but was an AB(EW) in the mob a few years ago.
The New FLYCO has complete panoramic view of the flight deck and house 7 workstations (my job on the project is Role Definition), two seats are for CAG and 'F' when they come up for a goon, and 5 other seats for Little 'F', DOO, ATC bod and a couple of other's. Also, these flgith decks will be a tad busier than those you're used to.

Not really amazing cool, but amazingly sad.
HMS Kellington sinking on the Tees.
She has been berthed here since the early 90's and was used as a sea cadets training vessel until she was condemed. She has been left untouched and rotting on the Tees ever since, and over the weekend some local chavs managed to get on board and steal the bilge pump which was helping to keep her afloat.
She is now resting on the river bed surrounded by a British waterways boom, listing heavily and due to be dismanted ASAP.
As she is now:
Back in her glory days:

An old Vospers minesweeper, the Malaysian navy has a big flotilla of these old girls (Ex RN) at Lumot on the west side of the Malay Peninsula. HMS Kellington sinking on the Tees.

I agree with EM as a better long term solution though. I would imagine that a linear accelerator would be kinder to the airframe as you could precisely control the acceleration rate.
It'd look crap in war films though - how would they get the arty slow-mo shots of steam drifting across the deck as the hero hurtles off to war.
The biggest the bad'est and the mad'est of them all.
