- Synopsis
- This page shows two images of ships seen from the side. There is a locator dot shown, which will be at the top left of the page when the image is the correct way up. Both ships have their bow (front) on the right and the stern (back) on the left of the page. There is a thick horizontal line going from stern to bow up the middle of each ship. This is the level the ship would float at. The hull below the line would be underwater. The ship in the top of the page is a warship with lots of big guns. Sticking up from the stern deck on the left is a crane. To the right of this are two gun turrets with the gun barrels pointing horizontally to the left. The turrets would be able to rotate so the guns could fire in different directions. To the right of this is some superstructure rising to a tower with a radar dish on it. To the right of this the superstructure falls to deck level leaving a gap. Down from the gap is a small gun turret with the barrel pointing to the left at deck level. To the left is another small gun turret with the barrel pointing to the left at a slightly lower deck level. To the right of the gap is the funnel, it leans back slightly and has a slanted top. It sits on more superstructure. To the right in the top centre of the image is the radar and radio mast. Down from the mast at deck level is a small gun turret with the barrel pointing to the right. To the right is another small gun turret with the barrel pointing to the right at a slightly lower deck level. Up from this is the bridge. To the right of the superstructure are two gun turrets with the gun barrels pointing horizontally to the right. Like the rear turrets they would be also be able to rotate. The ship at the bottom of the page is an aircraft carrier. The deck is long and flat, and is used as a runway for the ship's planes. In the top centre is the superstructure. The runway goes from stern to bow on the other side of this narrow structure. Most of the cabins and rooms are below deck. There is a radio mast at the very top of the superstructure. Down and left from this is the funnel with a sloping top. At the front of the superstructure is the captain's bridge. Down from the deck at the stern there is a gallery built into the hull. To the right of this is a crane which stands on a semi-circular structure projecting out from the hull. To the right of the crane is a recess and opening into the hull. Goods can be swung into this area by the crane. In the centre of the hull is an area which projects out slightly from the hull. To the right is another gallery.
