<strong>CUVX</strong> <strong>Design</strong> – VT Team 2 Page 54Figure 41. <strong>CUVX</strong> HI3 Curves of Form4.2.2 Deck HouseThe island on a CVN contains <strong>the</strong> flight operations center, recovery operations center, pilot house, combatsystems center, communications center, and supports many of <strong>the</strong> ship’s electronics and sensors. It is also very highfor optimal forward visibility. One large structure is not possible in <strong>CUVX</strong> because of limited recovery deck areaand <strong>the</strong> low RCS requirement. Trade-offs must be made between forward visibility, recovery deck visibility, usablearea on recovery deck, and low RCS. This requires <strong>CUVX</strong> to have separate facilities for each of three groups ofoperations, located to satisfy <strong>the</strong>ir own needs and those of <strong>the</strong> total ship.Figure 42.
