The big thing to remember with CMD ships is that there is no 'official' 
way to put them together. Look at the big NAC fleet in MT - especially 
the pocket carriers! There are many ways to do it; the main bitz (on NSL

ships, at least) are pretty obvious, and the rest can go wherever you 
think it'll look good!

For the NSL ships - well, most seem to have a 'ridge' on the 'back', at 
the rear, where the bridge fits. Of course, my NSL Battleship has its 
bridge on the wing instead, and one CE has it under the belly, but what 
the hey...
