I like this ship, but I see a problem with it: it looks like the hangars, because of the rear VLS, don't have enough space for the EH-101 helicopters pictured; it looks like they'd fit, at the most, Lynx-sized helicopters.

I tried it out and the Merlins do fit. But it is hard to do any big maintenance on them.
But since these ships are basicly CBG ships they can rotate helos and do it on the CVN instead if needed.
The space is around the same as the hangars of the arleigh burke on passages around. They are deeper though.
