Melbourne and Bonaventure gave Australia and Canada regional carrier forces that could join a wider Royal Navy or allied formation.
Majestic-class hulls became Melbourne, Sydney, Vikrant, and Bonaventure, while Magnificent retained her name, showing how the wartime design spread across Commonwealth navies.
Canada and Australia faced the same problem: defending immense spaces with dispersed populations and air bases far from the point of need.
After abandoning their carriers, Australia and Canada still sought parts of the lost capability, while Britain's ten-year carrier gap shows the cost of rebuilding it.
The wartime light fleet carrier was meant to be fast to build and repair, providing fleet aviation until larger carriers could arrive.
Unicorn remained a forward aviation support ship, yet her design could be simplified into a faster carrier focused on flight operations.
Several Colossus and Majestic descendants served for five or six decades because their lightly built hulls were maintainable, adaptable, and compatible with smaller aircraft.
Shared Royal Navy expertise and facilities made Dominion carrier forces more viable while giving Britain forward naval presence without sending a fleet carrier everywhere.
Over roughly thirty years in the late nineteenth century, British policy moved toward self-governing Dominions as direct imperial control grew too expensive.
A treaty system permitting unrestricted 15,000-ton carriers might have encouraged Britain to promote Hermes-style ships for Australia and Canada before the Second World War.
