Redesigning British armored carriers with hindsight

How would you redesign Britain's armored aircraft carriers with hindsight, and how credible were predictions of heavy losses during an invasion of Japan?

Keep the armored concept, enlarge the ships toward Implacable or Indefatigable dimensions, and maintain continuous construction. American expectations of severe carrier losses helped motivate the larger Midway class.

The projected kamikaze environment made flight-deck survivability central to late-war planning. An American prediction held that British armored carriers might be the only carriers still operational within days of an invasion, while American designs were less able to absorb repeated impacts. A better program would avoid the historical interruption associated with Churchill and begin with a larger hull. That approach would preserve the armored deck's resilience while improving aircraft capacity and sustaining production experience.
