Why the two islands?

If I recall correctly, during wind-tunnel* testing the initial design, with a single island, created excessive turbulence over the flight deck, subsequent testing showed reduced turbulence with a twin superstructure layout.

One is for navigation and ship's operations and the other for flight control and aerial operations. The islands can take on each other's function if one is incapacitated.  See below for more details:
