I figured that was possible, too.  I asked, because of the rolling doors on the Yorktowns--and the Essexes.  I'm building the Hasegawa Essex and opening all of them up to see into the hangar deck.

The bigger the government, the smaller the citizen.

That was my guess too.  Tamiya has a 1/700th CV-6 an a 1/350th CVN-65, but the CVN seems far more likely based on his question.

I figure he means CVN-65. CV-6 had no side elevator although there were side openings that required doors.

I'm from the government and I'm here to help.

I agree with Tracy.  Which Enterprise do you mean?  '65 or CV-6?

The bigger the government, the smaller the citizen.

For what it's worth, there have been different styles, so you might want to clarify a bit more in the future.

That said, the ones I know of online currently on the Navy.mil site are:

Aircraft Carrier Hangar Doors
Posted by rdmeyersr on Thursday, April 4, 2013 1:29 PM

Does anyone have clear images of the Elevator/Hangar doors of US Aircraft Carriers? I'm wanting to replace the doors on my Tamiya Enterprise but all I can find are interior shots of the doors. Thanks in advance,

Ron
