The Hermes from WW2. Note the droop of the Deck. Either sagging from a structural failure or designed to help flyers from tripping over the edge. I would think that it would create additional problems for the flyer.

Did you know that HMS Hermes is the only aircraft carrier witin non commercial dive limits? She is just off the coast of Sri Lanka.

I think the droop is to give them a better chance on landing, the fact that modern carriers don't have this feature might be a sign

This is interesting as Hong Kong Island is so small and still has secrets hidden! watch the video.

Site of crashed US warplane found in Hong Kong's Tai Tam country park

http://www.scmp.com/news/hong-kong/article/1240922/site-crashed-us-warplane-found-tai-tam-country-park

The site - hidden in bush in Tai Tam Country Park - was discovered by engineer Craig Mitchell on November 2011, but he has only made its whereabouts public after months of painstaking investigation established beyond doubt that the site is genuine.

enjoy!!
