That's interesting, Brian! No I haven't found any more, just the supposition above that somehow the numbers may have been some factory job number for the hulls. Yours, showing 1166, if it is a factory job number, must have been from a much larger contract. Of course, these numbers could have absolutly nothing to do with factory numbering of hulls under construction, and could be for an entirely different reason! Any indication from the body as to what type of carrier it may be?
