  1.  @mediocreman6323  I will never understand this peculiar attitude. These ships are priceless historic artifacts and should absolutely be preserved for future generations to appreciate.

  2. The "S" in "fresnel" is SILENT. Carriers don't "catch" landing aircraft, they "TRAP" them. There isn't a "control tower" but there IS a "Pri-Fly" near the top of the island (superstructure). If you live in the USA, you're probably fairly close to one of the four Essex-class carrier museums. The Intrepid is in NYC, the Yorktown is at Patriot's point near Charleston SC, the Lexington is in Corpus Christi TX, and the Hornet's in the San Francisco Bay area. Each is definitely worth visiting. The ships may not move any more but they are anything but static displays. I've been a member of the Lex Museum for many years and every time I visit there's a new exhibit, airplane, activity, or film to experience.
