Carrier doctrine moves toward strike packages

How did Royal Navy and U.S. Navy carrier doctrines relate before the angled flight deck and later operational practice?

The doctrines began to fuse as U.S. continuous operations and Royal Navy strike-package problems both pointed toward integrated strikes and stronger air-defence planning.

Carrier doctrine changed as navies tried to combine continuous flight operations with the assembly of a large strike. The U.S. Navy favored keeping aircraft moving, while British practice faced its own problem of arranging a concentrated attack. The angled flight deck helped reconcile those demands. Both navies then moved toward strike packages and more integrated air defence for single-carrier and multi-carrier operations.
