Carrier Islands
Are there aviation-related reasons why the starboard side is favored
for the island, or is it a purely naval issue? If the latter, did the practice come about because the first pioneering carriers were arbitrarily drawn up that way and the configuration simply stuck as a matter of tradition, or were there more significant reasons for the convention? -- Thomas Winston Ping
