What is an aircraft carrier superstructure?
The superstructure refers to the structure above the flight deck. It contains most of the command and control operations of the carrier. To be clear, the superstructure (usually referred to as the "island") contains the ship navigation and control command center, as well as the aircraft communications and landing control centers. The combat information center (where all combat-related information and decision are located) is located aft, several decks below the flight deck. In general, for ships, "superstructure" refers to anything above the main deck, which is the flight deck on an aircraft carrier.
How did the poop deck get its name?
In naval architecture, a poop deck is a deck that forms the roof of a cabin built in the rear, or "aft", part of the superstructure of a ship. The name originates from the French word for stern, la poupe, from Latin puppis.
Why is the superstructure of an aircraft carrier on the starboard side?
Probably the only reason is that the standard aircraft traffic pattern is a left-hand pattern (all turns in the traffic pattern are made to the left). Putting the superstructure on the right puts the "tower" outboard of the pattern, allowing flight operations to be viewed from one side.AnswerCould it possibly go back to the Viking longboats with the steering-board (starboard) on the right and an unobstructed view of the port on the left. Of course, since the pilot is in the superstructure, it can't interfer with his view on either side. AnswerApparently when designing Britain's first purpose built carrier Hermes the designers took into account the fact that rotary engines of the time rotated clockwise (when looking from the pilots seat). The resulting yaw from the rotating propeller pulled the aircraft left when taking off. They therefore made sure there were no obstructions in the way so they placed the island to the right (ie starboard). AnswerIn addition to the reasons offered above, the current reason is tradition. There were several port-side island aircraft carriers built during right before or during WW2 (almost all of them Japanese). No particular effectiveness has been found for a starboard-side island vice a port-side one in actual use, so the current placement of the island really boils down to convention.
