    Not only that, but check dimensions between 1 view & another. I've seen plenty of "plans" where something or other was impossible as shown in plan & profile views. Not to mention, 1 side of center different from the other.

    M.C. Escher would be proud of some ship "plans" I've seen!

    To be more precise, Monk, it should be 56 3/32" long, and 5 31/32" wide, so it's a tiny tiny bit long, and a quarter inch too narrow. Is it sheeted yet? The sheeting will add 1/6" to the width, maybe more depending on how you attach the balsa. Realistically, I wouldn't freak about the measurements when they're that close.

    Actually you are mistaken. The USS Langley CV-1 was the first US carrier to have a wooden deck. All the carriers until the Midway class had wooden decks :) Valley Forge was actually one of the LAST carriers to complete with a wooden deck.
