CARRIERBUG FIXSITE The Enterprise from astern: angle deck striping to port of the new box island, parked Hornet on the cat

Three carrier truths restored. The painted angle deck ran to starboard — the deck texture was mirrored, so the strip drifted toward the island instead of away from it; it now angles to port, agreeing with the sponson, the wires and the meatball. The island itself is rebuilt as CVN-65's signature flat-roofed box with billboard radar panels and just a small mast, and it's moved aft of midships where the Enterprise carries it — from the catapult shuttle the bridge now sits 80 metres behind you, out of sight, instead of looming ahead-right. And the journal has a real home: hornetbay.com/blog, with every entry living at its own permalink (this one is /blog/enterprise-island-blog). Old changelog.html links redirect; RSS and the search engines get a sitemap.xml and robots.txt for the asking.
