[edit] No Sources

This article does not quote its' sources, nor does it appear to be consistently worded in a neutral tone, nor is is consistent with other wikipedia articles (the article on the Midway class states it could hold 100 planes realistically, where this article says it would only hold 50 planes (possibly to make this carrier sound better?). —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 12.154.10.177 (talk) 23:05, 12 March 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Size

There have been several comparisions with the Midway class, one of which listed the Forrestals at twice the displacement. They were twice the displacement of the Essexes, but only 25% -33% or so larger than the Midways at equivalent load conditions. Kablammo 13:13, 13 May 2007 (UTC)
