This week we are going to model the Navy's sea-going airbase, also known as the aircraft carrier. These warships are designed to deploy air power in remote zones without the need of local bases. In the beginning they were made from wood and used hot air ballons with boms attached to attack the enemy. The current versions are from high strength steel, powered by nucleair energy and with all kinds of aircrafts at their disposal. For this challenge there are no restictions to your imagination. You could create a historic carrier, a future carrier or a carrier only suitable for helicopters for example. The challenge, for this rather large subject, is of course the hull of the ship and the efficiency in geometry and filesize of your model.
