  1.  @Ross665  Thanks for that. It makes sense now.

  2. Q&A #1. Is there are a reason why (all?) aircraft carriers are "right handed", or did some carriers have the island superstructure on the port side? #2. Did the island superstructure on carriers inhibit what could be seen from the bridge and is this the reason an Australian carrier (I think it was the Melbourne) developed a habit of slicing destroyers in two. Did that sort of thing happen often? I see the new British carriers have two islands, presumably the bridge being further forward helps them see what is in front of them? Thanks for your great work with these videos.

  3. So the US had a heavy cruiser named Canberra and one of the first types of American jet bombers was also named Canberra. It's strange to name both an important ship and a very significant type of bomber after a foreign city.
