Why do almost all aircraft carriers put the island on the RIGHT side?
American. Chinese. British. Decades of naval design all followed the same layout.
But two carriers broke the pattern — and Japan eventually went back.
The reason wasn’t the flight deck. It was the propeller’s left-hand pull, a subtle effect that influenced early carrier design.
Jets changed the physics.
The tradition stayed built into the steel. 🚢✈️
@atrupar You are so anal about his hand. When you get to be his age let’s obsess about your hand every day. Get over it and stop bringing it up. It’s a non story. Except for you!
