A no-pause timetable places four armored carriers in 1940

When were the early armored carriers expected to enter service without the construction delay?

The proposed timetable puts Illustrious, Formidable, Victorious, and potentially Indomitable into service during 1940.

Illustrious provides the comparison for reconstructing the other ships' intended schedules. The suggested dates are approximately 27 April for Illustrious, 17 June for Formidable, and 4 May 1940 for Victorious. Indomitable is tentatively placed on 10 November 1940. These dates belong to the proposed no-delay timetable rather than the ships' actual service histories.
