I can't find any evidence that gives away the fact that this is a drawing. Usually you can spot something,you know? This is truly amazing. I sincerely mean that.

Nice looking carrier, tho' it was an old design but still looks modern. I see WW2 British carriers are better looking than those from the US, especially the hull and bridge design.

Those early British carriers are still very impressive by today's standard. They are notable for their ruggedness to withstand damage and rivaled only by Japanese carriers. Only the Ark Royal was sunk by a single torpedo hits while most others were able to survive under heavy damage. In the other hand WW2 US carriers were very vulnerable against torpedoes, bombs and gunfire. During the battle of Midway a Japanese torpedo smashed deep into USS Yorktown's fuel tank before explode. Despite the good damage control the Americans were unable to save her from destruction. Similar case goes to Lexington, Hornet and Wasp as well. Most of them can be easily finished off by just several hit unlike British carriers. British carriers, by the way, pioneered the construction of armored flight deck and hull.

Really? Wooden deck in the late 50's? Well I guess it must be at certain compartments, certainly not the main flight deck. Do you know anything about Bullwark's stat?
