In the late 1960s and 1970s the US Navy CHEAPED on PROPER Aircraft Carrier Stabilization. CVN-70 was a Carter Boat and there was ALOT of OLD Parts incorporated w/in her.

but what actually does the stabilization? i've seen pictures with underwater fins near the bow, are there more along the sides or is there an active gyro system involved on some ships?
