Your drawing is a very good path to organizing the construction of the ships "Island" into individual pieces and an order for assembly. We will all be looking to see how you solve the inevitable problems that will arise.

Song,

What are you using for the fiber optics? Drivers and fibers? Brand?

Considerable precision is required to construct the angled window frames, but as usual you have conquered this task. It is amazing as to how large the bridge is on this modern generation carrier. By comparison the pilot house on a WWII Essex class carrier was almost exactly the same as a Fletcher class destroyer except Engine Order Telegraph for four shafts rather than two and a higher viewpoint.

More windows to go!

Quite the "penthouse apartment" for the Admiral! In the horizontal view it appears that these windows might be glazed? Certainly developing in a very convincing manner!

Certainly not an impossible item as you have demonstrated, but requiring calculation and precision layout and cutting. Nice work!
