Forgive me for not knowing the correct terminology for describing the ship (hopefully I can learn this before too long). The impression I get is that the deck is double layered the lower deck is where they have the launch tubes and the deck crew, and above them is the landing bay. I say that because when Apollo lands for the first time his approach is the same one we see when Starbuck rescues him from the end of the pod. But when the vipers are going out to fight they leave from a completely different place they go out from the side of the pod. Also when Apollo lands that first time you see him “park” the viper and the whole deck area he landed on begins to drop down at least that’s what it looked like to me.
