She is about as ugly as they come, was 27,000 tons and over 210m at birth, yet one simply can't avoid loving the new member of the family!

Flotation blocks to help keep the bow from hitting the ramp/bottom during launch. They will be removed soon.

What's that round thing that looks sort of like a radar dome under what I think is the stern? Maybe where they will place what looks like a pod mounted
propellor? If it is, I've always wondered how those things would react to underwater damage, a mine or torpedo hit. They look like a torpedo would blow the
pod off, and I'd say that would be bad news for your ship.

Juan Carlos' props (from an interweb discussion board, so source unknown).

From which manufacturer are these pods? I hope these are better ones than those of the HNLMS Johan de Witt!!

On a side-note, it's interesting to see that many people refer to the ramp as a Sky Jump. As far as I'm aware, it was originally referred to as a Ski
Jump, as in skiing on snow. Was it lost in translation or has it been renamed?

If you recall the Bismarcks difficulties having a prop that gets blown off easily might actually be a blessing in disguise...
