Don't forget the Space Shuttle Enterprise complete with its own separate pavilion; aircraft carriers are indeed ginormous, and that's just an ancient WWII model: https://www.intrepidmuseum.org/Space_Shuttle_Pavilion.aspx

I forgot about it, and yeah, the Space Shuttle itself is pretty big and impressive. So this makes the size of the aircraft carrier even more amazing.
