Looking at the Nimitz class: What I was questioning could be accomplished by angling the deck to the right instead of left so that it crosses in front of the superstructure. Superstructure on the left & 'behind' the present angled deck would also do it but with the penalty of occluding the deck during a left hand circuit.

There must be some reason why they're prepared to tolerate the wake from the superstructure?
