Description: Concept artwork by D.A. McKenna, depicting the original design for this ship. After many modifications, she was completed as USS Forrestal (CVA-58). As originally planned, the carrier had catapults at the bow and on sponsons on each side, a landing area running up the ship's centerline and no island above the flight deck level. Photograph was received by the Naval Photographic Center on 27 September 1951. Official U.S. Navy Photograph, now in the collections of the National Archives.
