It's not an aircraft carrier. It's an LHA...Landing Helicopter Assault



It carries F35's and helo's while being about as big as a WWII carrier. And it has a flat top.

Close enough for people that are not military geeks.

Hell, today's "destroyers" are larger than a WWII heavy cruiser.

Not even close.
