Talk:HMS Ark Royal (R09)

message: There are serious differencies in web sources and publications as for her beam, especially after completing (34 m is a bit too little for 5.5deg angled deck and a side lift. On one page it is quoted as WL width). The page  gives a beam of 158.4 feet (48 m), which seems too much. On the other hand, afer 1970 modernisation, it no doubt was about 48-50 m (I've corrected it as 50 m). There are also differencies as for displacement. Finally, the air group: she couldn't take 78 jet fighter for sure - maybe it was a figure of WWII specs? The mentioned page says up to 50, and quotes different air group compositions, not exceding 41. Can anyone confirm these information with some reliable source? Pibwl ←« 19:31, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

message: mention of the world first angle carrier deck and before the US navy is false. USS Antietam (CV-36) was the first carrier in world to incorporated this feature. RN pilots actually were instructed on USS Antietam (CV-36). Jacob805 08:07, 9 November 2012 (UTC)
