This report proposes flight and hangar deck layouts for carriers that would take advantage of the design opportunities offered by nuclear power. The arrangement proposes, among other things, a recovery area located amidship, an island located on the stern, and a bilevel hangar bay. Benefits of the new arrangement include improved operational efficiency, safety, and cost. The conceptual CV (CCV) would provide a more efficient airfield than exists on present carriers. Several factors contribute to this expected increased operational efficiency: improving the flow pattern of aircraft on the flight deck; increasing the rate of aircraft landings; enhancing administration of the flight deck; and permitting air operations in higher sea states.
