Landing platforms for helicopters on back. Same kind of minimal deck structure for the bridge. I don't remember the details well, I don't even remember the magazine I saw it in.
Thank you for your answer. Guess its the same "ship" I have seen in different documentary.

As it was said it this program it will be huge and the price will be huge

So why not scale it down a bit and forget all about "airfield" and just have ordinary boats as they use to have.
Please do keep in mind, in my idea the "ship" I will not embark everyday maybe 2-4 times/month

And it will not run on oil or diesel or atomic power

Found the video
