Queen Elizabeth and Prince of Wales would likely have been joined by Ark Royal and either Eagle or Hermes.

Question

If Britain had built four Queen Elizabeth-class carriers, what would they have been called?

Short answer

Queen Elizabeth, Prince of Wales, Ark Royal, and preferably Hermes, with Eagle another possibility.

Notes

In this hypothetical four-carrier fleet, Queen Elizabeth and Prince of Wales keep their names. Ark Royal is suggested for the third ship. Hermes is the preferred fourth name, although Eagle is another plausible choice.
