The numbers on the deck are upside down based on true configuration of the active carriers for the U.S. Navy.
I totally agree with you. My USS Flagg has the numbers in the correct direction, the Navy way (ha!)

This is the reason that if a miracle ever happens and I get 2 Flaggs, one of them will be the USS America! I even wanna get Skystrikers with labels on them for it!
Or flip one of the numbers to 69 and you have the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower. Of course if you reverse it to 96 you can create a fictional aircraft carrier like the USS Joseph B. Colton. Something I just looked up about CV-66 USS America: Decommissioned 9 August 1996. Scuttled in 2005 as a live-fire test platform. A lot of the CV-60's carriers are decommissioned and are getting a new class carrier with a new CV number. The Enterprise (CV-65) is now going to be CV-80. I wonder if Cobra Stickers or Ruben would create other number stickers to fit the bow deck and other sizes to create other custom carrier.
And something else to think about, wouldn't the name of the USS Flagg be the U.S.S. Lawrence J. Flagg?
