Excellent job, Bombhead... except... maybe you ought to consider striking the jack completely since you're showing the Queen in the mode of flight operation; and also move the ensign to its topmast position and strike the flagstaff aft too?

That's a good point Bezo.I did think about that cos it's clear they would interfere with flying ops and I think I'm right in saying that the jack is only flown in harbour.For me a lot of the fun in drawing carriers is playing with the planes,I suppose it brings out the overgrown child in me. :D

Great work BH.
One small thing though. The Grumman Avenger had a single gun in its turret and not two like you have drawn in the top view.
Image Thank you Kim for the crest
