Helicarrier Fun: All-New Wolverine # 8
Jun. 5th, 2016 10:32 amI laughed when I saw this page. Laughed, because I empathized with Gabby's reaction.
( Image under the cut )It's her first Helicarrier, after all.
So I'm not alone in noticing the obvious.

I don't count the Ultron bodies, though. Single artificial intelligence directing them all, right?
Pericles' Progress 3

Started laying down function areas by colour code. Green for commissaries, blue for gravity field projector arrays, orange for lifts, and purple for the IRBM silo for on-board satellite launch capability.
"IRBM, you say?"
It was Eliot Brown's idea per the first Marvel Universe Handbook of the early 1980's, designed as an "in case of nuclear war on Earth and the planet still needs defensive comms" satellite-launching feature and the regular Nick Fury series - starring Nick Sr. at the time - took that idea and ran with it as a plot point about a decade or so later. So, it's in this drawing.
Colour-coding is subject to change, of course...
To further enhance the sense of scale re: Nimitz-class aircraft carriers vs. the SHIELD Helicarrier class depicted in the Marvel Universe Handbook by Eliot R. Brown. Assumes that the length of both vessel classes are equivalent. Graphic cross-section of Nimitz-class CVN is derived from the Hampton Roads Daily Press web feature on the USS George W.H. Bush.

A New Note on SHIELD, Just for Fun
Jan. 14th, 2007 08:11 pmSome of you may recall my post on SHIELD back in September, explaining why I think it a fun concept to set up heroes and stories around.
I still do. In that vein, I spotted a bit of techno-financial trivia that got my attention about their signature capital ships, the Helicarriers.
