What would a Nimitz-sized flight-deck cruiser look like?
Short answerIt would effectively be a large carrier, probably an enlarged Invincible with more aircraft space and strike missiles rather than a true cruiser.
NotesA hull that large should prioritize aircraft capacity rather than preserve a cruiser label. An enlarged Invincible-style design could add a bigger hangar, Tomahawk launchers, Sea Dart, and close-in defenses. Such a ship would address the Sea Harrier's limited strike capacity without pretending that flight-deck size comes free.
