Where is the aft hangar bay located?

The aft hangar bay is located near the stern of the ship. This design allows for the efficient operation of various aircraft and facilitates the loading and unloading of helicopters and other airborne equipment directly from the stern area. The aft position is ideal as it provides access to the flight deck, enabling seamless transitions between hangar operations and flight operations. Additionally, situating the hangar bay at the aft ensures more effective use of space on the vessel, allowing other operational activities to occur towards the bow and midship areas without interference. This strategic positioning is critical for the functionality and operational readiness of naval vessels, especially those designed for flight operations.
