Would an Incomparable- or Admiral-class carrier conversion use the same flight deck as Courageous and Glorious?
Short answerA layout closer to HMS Eagle fits the likely conversion date, while a larger deck can absorb some design shortcomings.
NotesThe expected arrangement follows the design knowledge available when the conversion would actually be carried out. HMS Eagle is therefore a better guide than Courageous and Glorious. A larger hull and longer flight deck give designers more room to manage operating problems, changing which compromises dominate the design.
