First time I saw it. I don't visit here much. |

First I'd heard as well. First I've seen her too. Odd looking to my eyes. Why the two bridges? |

Let's see what she can do first. Meanwhile,I'm glad she's still afloat. |

The two islands are a little jarring to see. But I suspect we will get used to it. |

There are a number of reasons why we have two islands, and similarly a number of benefits. The GTs are mounted in sponsons below the islands, within which the uptakes are situated. Plenty of separation between the LRR and MFR to reduce interference, the bridge is in the forward island, FLYCO in the aft, and redundancy between the two of them so good from a survivability perspective. Thats for starters. |

One bridge has controls in English and the other in French. :) link |

The share story is from 2011. A lot has changed since. |

Thats for starters. That all sounds most convincing. Entirely incomprehensible to me but lots of important initials in CAPITALS can't be wrong DBDD |

I read the two bridges are a result of 2 separate engine rooms. A survivability issue creating the need for separate exhaust stacks. |

£3.00 GBPbn and they still can't get a decent plumber. |

GT are gas turbines LRR is long range radar MFR is probably multi frequency radio or radar FLYCO is flight control, in aft tower Only one bridge, in the forward tower All seem to be quite sensible |
