An Admiral-class carrier could move beyond Eagle's gun pattern

Would an Admiral-class aircraft carrier retain casemate guns or lead the Royal Navy toward turreted carrier armament?

It would likely start from Eagle's pattern but could use 5.5-inch guns, possibly in a turreted arrangement.

Eagle provides the initial reference point for a converted Admiral-class carrier's defensive guns. British carrier practice still favored multiple 4-inch weapons, while the battlecruiser hull opens a plausible route to 5.5-inch guns. The Navy might also test a turreted arrangement instead of simply retaining casemates. Any conversion must reconcile inherited hull capacity with the emerging carrier mission.
