A somewhat silly what-if:


Since the idea of using an angled deck is quite simple ( though brilliant,
even if it did come from them Brits ) what would have been different if it
had been used from the beginning?


As a beginning guess, I would say fewer crashes into islands, parked
aircraft etc., and more losses to planes dribbling off the end of the
angle unable to regain flight.


Duh.
