The French had gone to a lot of
expense to build the giant vessel so
that she could be converted to an
airplane carrier in wartime. To this
end. special funnels were arranged
on the side of the deck, to give space
for runways; especially large eleva
tors were installed at each end of
the ship; and the top deck consisted
of the biggest "sports" deck in the
world.
However, U. S. naval engineers
decided that despite all the French
preparations, lhe Normandie’s upper
decks were not strong enough to hold
a flock of planes. The French had
sacrificed reinforcements below, for
the purpose of beauty in the pas
senger salons.
As a troop ship the Normandie
was considered useful, but not near
ly so useful proportionately as a
medium-sized vessel, such as the
Manhattan. Reason: big ships draw
so much water that they could not
efficiently carry troops to Dakar or
West African ports. Small boats
would be necessary to take soldiers
and cargo ashore.
Also the Normandie was too big to
get through the Suez canal.
