SDLthis may be an utterly stupid question... but why do all carriers have the Island(s) on the right side of the ship?
[SIZE=+1]Section E.9: Why starboard side islands?[/SIZE] Why are
aircraft carrier islands always on the starboard side? There are
several reasons. Initially the island was placed on the starboard side
because early (propeller) aircraft turned to the left more easily (an
effect of engine torque). Obviously such an aircraft can execute a
wave-off to the left more easily so the island was put to starboard to
be out of the way. There may also be other minor contributing factors.
Once the starboard side position was established and a few carriers
were built in that configuration it became difficult to change. Pilots
used to landing with the island to their right would be confused on a
ship with the island on the other side. There was nothing to be gained
by moving the island so it stayed in the same place. Once angled decks
were introduced this became even more important since the deck angle
would have to be changed to move the island.
There were however two carriers with their islands to port. The Japanese Akagi and Hiryu were fitted with port-side islands. Each was meant to work in a tactical formation with a starboard-island ship (Kaga and Soryu
respectively); it was thought that putting the islands opposite sides
would improve the flight patterns around the carriers. The idea was
scrapped after two ships were so fitted and all later carriers had
starboard islands.
