I can't find anything on this, but wondered what others thought. When NTW's explosion makes the ship topple sideways, on the far side of the deck you can clearly see a big rotor/turbine assembly, which real aircraft carriers obviously don't have, but is very like the helicarrier. Thought it might have been a nod for the fans.

It's a helicarrier, but not a SHIELD helicarrier.
Just like Bob is Bob and not Hydra Bob.
It's hot... but not as hot as the night Johnny Viti got married...
Yes, it is.
I can't find the links to it now (IMDb purges the message forums from time to time), but I noticed the same thing and posted it here. Then a friend sent me a link to an interview with someone on the film and that confirmed it.
Be sure to proof your posts to see if you any words out
With all the fears of lawsuits from the Disney/MCU Franchise, They let a HeliCarrier slip by just as long as it's free of S.H.I.E.L.D. Signage?...I'm glad DEADPOOL slipped this in to "Unofficially" tie-in both Universes together.

Sigh.
It's not *the* SHIELD helicarrier since SHIELD doesn't exist in the Fox x-verse. But yes, it was 100% meant to be a joke referring to the helicarrier. They made it as close as they could to the MCU version without risking any actual lawsuit.
