The course-needle of the MCL does not coincide with the angled-deck of the HMAS Melbourne (Mod Carrier), but creates a course about 10° to port/ left.

Expected behavior
The course should coincide with the angled deck.

in light of better cat launch facilities, is this worth pursuing for 2.0?

Propagate the ship type type from the mission description to the MCL handling.

There try to find the ship type in a table and get it's beacon offsets and flight deck angle.  If not found, use the Stennis data as default values.

Deck angle for HMAS Melbourne from  https://www.navy.gov.au/history/angled-flight-deck but seems a good match. The offsets are found experimentally and could be inaccurate.
