827 He guessed the truth

James was shocked once again as he looked down beneath him.

The neatly organized shipyard held four Essex-class aircraft carriers, each fitted with a flight deck.

Their elevators had not yet been raised, thus from the sky, it was possible to see a square hole both fore and aft on every deck.

What was shocking was that these flat decks were neatly aligned in a row of four, displaying an overwhelming presence.

If one was accustomed to seeing aircraft carriers, it might not have been as shocking, but James had never seen such warships before, so he did not know what he was looking at.

"What is this thing..." He stared, wide-eyed, at the strange warships with their bridges offset from the centerline, unsure of what to do.

At that moment, the workers installing various parts on the deck heard the noisy aircraft engines and looked up just in time to see a Model 3 trainer aircraft fly over their heads.
