  1. The multiple flight deck was a sign of its times. Enterprise and her sisters were designed with a lower deck transverse catapult, which would've served much the same purpose. Heavier planes (especially monoplanes) were the death knell for such ideas. Biplanes lifted high as they left the flight deck, where monoplanes drop low before rising again. That latter physic would obstruct lower deck aircraft launches.

  3. Look how low those aft sponson guns are. The word: "wet"; comes to mind. Kind of reminds me of the Myokos, whose excessive topweight lowered the ships in the class to the point where they were in danger of flooding if anyone opened a porthole.
