The alternate treaty prompts a brief prediction that Japan would try to fit Soryu into the scout-carrier category.

A larger carrier programme creates more experience with launch equipment, but it does not bypass the existing progression from hydraulic accelerators toward steam catapults.
From Alternate History - Royal Navy retains the Fleet 'units' of Royal Naval Air Service: Patreon 76 ·
Successive scout carriers would probably shift from riveted toward welded construction, spreading experience that could also influence later fleet carriers.
From Alternate History - Royal Navy retains the Fleet 'units' of Royal Naval Air Service: Patreon 76 ·
American and Japanese design would respond to British carriers and treaty categories, but intelligence and doctrinal feedback make exact aircraft and ship changes unknowable.

A mature 12,000-ton scout-carrier hull could replace Unicorn's depot-carrier role or provide an alternative starting point for wartime light fleet carriers.

The same operational boundary applies to seaplanes and flying boats: ship-connected aviation stays naval, while Coastal Command remains with the RAF.

A 30,000-ton ceiling could encourage more protected foreign carriers or still larger air groups.
From Alternate History - Royal Navy retains the Fleet 'units' of Royal Naval Air Service: Patreon 76 ·
Australia could operate scout carriers, but their tonnage would come from the combined British and Dominion allowance rather than creating extra treaty capacity.

Implacable is the closer comparison for the proposed protected fleet carrier, with hangar dimensions still a design consideration.
From Alternate History - Royal Navy retains the Fleet 'units' of Royal Naval Air Service: Patreon 76 ·
A navy with deeper aviation expertise is more likely to demand genuinely high-angle dual-purpose destroyer mounts and to understand the limits of pre-war exercise assumptions.
From Alternate History - Royal Navy retains the Fleet 'units' of Royal Naval Air Service: Patreon 76 ·
Dominion crew rotations are considered a likely consequence of their integration with the wider fleet.
From Alternate History - Royal Navy retains the Fleet 'units' of Royal Naval Air Service: Patreon 76 ·
The treaty caps each scout carrier at 12,000 tons, so improvement comes through successive batches and internal design tradeoffs instead of unconstrained growth.
From Alternate History - Royal Navy retains the Fleet 'units' of Royal Naval Air Service: Patreon 76 ·
The smaller carriers give the Royal Navy a pre-war design and trained force for anti-submarine and convoy work, rather than creating escort carriers only after the war exposes the need.
From Alternate History - Royal Navy retains the Fleet 'units' of Royal Naval Air Service: Patreon 76 ·
TSR aircraft would dominate most scout-carrier groups, with fighters more likely aboard ships assigned to the China Station.
From Alternate History - Royal Navy retains the Fleet 'units' of Royal Naval Air Service: Patreon 76 ·
Naval demand could raise standard engine power to an estimated 1,500-1,600 horsepower by 1938-1939 while preserving the practical requirements of TSR aircraft.

Accurate low-speed flight supports the torpedo-entry arrangement, leaving a role for a more powerful Swordfish-like biplane.
From Alternate History - Royal Navy retains the Fleet 'units' of Royal Naval Air Service: Patreon 76 ·
Higher naval engine requirements could provide more powerful engines for Air Ministry aircraft too.
From Alternate History - Royal Navy retains the Fleet 'units' of Royal Naval Air Service: Patreon 76 ·
Keeping naval aviation continuously in-house could make 1939 aircraft the result of several development cycles, not the first serious generation after institutional recovery.

A preliminary fighter attack could provoke visible defences and fires to guide dive bombers during a night strike.

Infrastructure investment has a different result when more capacity survives before rearmament begins.
From Alternate History - Royal Navy retains the Fleet 'units' of Royal Naval Air Service: Patreon 76 ·
The resource argument depends on retaining more existing capacity before the 1930s recovery.

Some aircraft could shadow a raider while the rest prepared a torpedo attack.
From Alternate History - Royal Navy retains the Fleet 'units' of Royal Naval Air Service: Patreon 76 ·
Earlier carrier cover would probably accelerate German interest in snorkels and underwater endurance, but it cannot instantly deliver mature new submarines.
From Alternate History - Royal Navy retains the Fleet 'units' of Royal Naval Air Service: Patreon 76 ·
