I do believe "through-deck cruiser" should be the official description. That's how they managed to get this class built in despite the embargo on carriers in the first place.

There's a fun bit in Stand on Zanzibar where a mega corp is looking for a mobile headquarters as they move into Benin for some damn reason. They find a British aircraft carrier for sale and outbid Australia for it.

http://www.theologyweb.com/campus/archi ... 39355.htmlA top Canadian navy official is defending the purchase of second-hand British submarines. Ottawa and the navy have faced criticism for buying four used diesel submarines, which cost Canada $750 million to acquire and modify.
Canada bought the four second-hand Upholder class subs from Britain four years ago. Last week the navy announced the submarines had been sidelined because of cracks discovered in one vessel.
But, Vice-Admiral Ron Buck, Chief of Maritime Staff, said Saturday the submarines were well worth the money.
"Absolutely a good buy. We paid less than a quarter of the cost of what it would have cost to construct submarines on our own," said Buck.
The cracks were found on valves in HMCS Chicoutimi, which is still in England.
The navy will conduct an investigation into whether the other three vessels it bought have similar problems.

Re: Want!
Might see if I can pick it up before I head home. Do you think they'll allow it as carry on baggage, or will it have to go in the checked luggage? Just that I'm close to the weight limit now.Geoff wrote:http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-12883511
