Admiral-class hulls are long and demand substantial supporting infrastructure, but converting all three remaining ships gives the Royal Navy a standardized strike-carrier group. Courageous and Glorious could still be converted below that tier because their displacement fits comfortably within the ordinary-carrier allowance. With those ships and other carriers of roughly 18,000 to 24,000 tons, Britain could field about nine carriers while reserving its three largest decks for concentrated strikes. The G3/F3 line remains more attractive for new fast capital ships than a mixed set of one-off Admiral and G3 carrier conversions.

The Royal Navy's cleanest path is three Admiral-class carriers plus new fast capital ships rather than a mixed one-off carrier fleet.
