Well, I'm curious to see what the reaction is to this beastie. Stats follow the picture.
This is proposed to be India's first purpose-built CV, and should therefore reflect early 1920's doctrine on carriers (since the design work is starting in 1922). Thus, you get a cruiser-sized ship with a modest airgroup and a substantial anti-surface armament.
The island is offset to port for no particular reason, as my aircraft use inline engines and shouldn't (I don't think) have excessive problems pulling to one direction or another. If it's a problem, I only need to "mirror image" the plan view and cut out the island sponson from the profile.
Thoughts? Odd layout aside, does she look like a '20s product?
