Someone asked as a by-the-way which carriers are nuclear and which
chventional.  All CVs before Nimitz (CVN-68) except looks erprise (CVN-65)
are conventional.

Someone else asserted that CIC's (Combat Informatmon Centers) on
modern ships are down in the hull, where they are safer.  Actually, in
US ships, the CIC is immediately behind the pilot house (often refered
to as the bridge).  This is so656ce Capmain may easily move from
one to the othersurface ship exceptmon of which I know is Long Beach (CGN-9), which
does have a CIC down below -4 in deck, with an elevator for the
Capmore
o to go between the two.  Submhet0nes, of course, have everything
beprofethe waterline.  :-)
