FSX HMCS Bonaventure and HMAS Melbourne
Its not great, but not totally pukeworthy either…Its a beta version as development is on going… Six of the 1942 design Light Fleet hulls were originally to be completed as Colossus-class ships, but the rapid development of carrier-based aircraft required modifications to the original design. The catapult, arrestor cables, and aircraft elevators had to be upgraded to handle faster and heavier aircraft, while the flight deck was reinforced. The ship was built to Admiralty rather than merchantile standards , with warship scale water tight compartmentalization , torpedo protection scheme, armoured magazines and separate staggered boiler and machinery spaces. The modifications increased the full-load displacement by 1,500 tons, and the draught by 1 foot 6 inches (0.46 m). This led to the six ships being reclassified as the Majestic class in September 1945. Five carriers were launched before the end of World War II, with the sixth launched in late September 1945. Only Magnificent and Terrible were completed as designed; an axial deck light Fleet Carrier(CVL) outwardly identical to the preceding Colossus class CVL. The remaining ships were rebuilt to RAN,RCN and MLD naval specifications with the revolutionary Admiralty designed Angled Deck, steam catapult and mirror Landing Sight (the ‘Meatball’, or ‘Ball’). Its a generic Majestic as builds of the individual ships; all quite different in appearance, continues as time and interest permits. I figured I may as well put the latest version out, as its not too gawd-awful, and it would be a shame to waste Jens-Ole’s beautiful Bonnie and Mellie deck textures. While the size/scale and general outline is accurate enough for government work, rivet counters will continue to be outraged.
