Thanks a bunch guys for clearing that up. I really appreciate it !

After looking at the larger carriers, e.g. Saratoga and the Lexington I was going to ask why they didn't have those horizontal antennas.



But then on closer examination I see that there is a single vertical one on the front of the deck:



And on this one as well:



And this clearly shows the guard rail:



But a word of caution for those who park their aircraft with its' tail hanging over the side.

In my first attempt to take that screenshot in my first post I taxied up to the front near the catapults; swung my tail gingerly over the side and put my chocks in as normal to hold it there.

I was immediately "snapped" onto the catapult !

Closed down the sim and disabled Zuti which has the carrier takeoff mod embedded in it.

Went back in, taxied down; turned with tail off the end and hit chocks - same thing ! ! Got "snapped" to the catapult !

Third time I just taxied down; turned; but didn't put chocks in.

That's how I got the screenshot.

So beware, that even disabling Zuti you'll still have the Carrier Takeoff Mod in there somewhere; and no, the separate Carrier Takeoff Mod 5.3.3 is not enabled in my Generic Mod Enabler.

So again guys, my thanks to you - from an old Army man who has come to love naval carrier ops.

Take care,

KC
