Amazing how they float, and not lop-sided.
The draft of the ship is only 36 feet (11 Meters) is below the water.

Unfortunately it's difficult to tell what is ship's superstructure and what is land based buldings behind it, however, it certainly shows the advanced streamliming of the hull. Beautful ship.

Easy. The things with all the windows are not on the ship.
Looks like there are only two structures on the ship.

I find it interesting that the British carrier has two superstructures; one, for flight operations and the other, for ship operations. Makes a lot of sense...I wonder why we Americans don't do that.
