Real CV-6 is much smaller (34.75 m is a widest point). Here is the photo of aft flight deck.

TBD has a wingspan of 15.24 meters, while TBF is 16.51 meters.

Here the ship's beam is something like 83 meters. If so, the length will be 586 meters, which is HUGE.
For example, Gerald R. Ford-class CV has a length of 337 m.

I figured that, so this is an error then?
