Finally bought my own Aircraft Carrier yesterday, they certainly couldn't fit

a stud gap between them. I haven't built the carrier yet, I assume the deck
has some studs on it, but I know a lot of it has large black tiles.

Even if you don't purchase one, go to a store and pick up the box, it's heavy.
1700 pieces too !
