Hi Holger,
I don't have much knowledge about aircraft carrier, so I can't comment how accurate is Italeri flight deck. Kit wise, the deck look nice and simple to assemble with textured surface.
There are rows of recess holes with molded tie downs detail.
What I dislike about Italeri's deck is that it's a bit small for bigger aircrafts. The wings of F-14 protrude out of the the deck. I think the width is also insufficient to position the "shooter" crew.
I personally prefer the size of Verlinden's flight deck to Italeri.
I had post a thread about Italeri's flight deck on a local forum some time back. Take a look at the following link if you are interested.

Although I have my doubts with Italeri's flight deck, it does serve it's purpose as a attractive base at an affordable price.
