The design of the Ford Class Carrier appears to have the island well aft. It might be interesting to see an analysis of island placement over time.
They eliminated the aft, starboard elevator and have the Island placed further aft.
As a result there will be three elevators instead of four.
Apparantly, U.S. naval analysis indicated that this would increase the ability and flexability of aircraft movement on the deck and increase sortie rates and efficiency.
