Italian carriers and a different London treaty

Would Italy's air force have contested control of interwar aircraft carriers?

A major jurisdictional fight is expected, while an Italian carrier programme would also change later treaty negotiations.

Interwar Italian carriers would provoke a substantial dispute over which service controlled them. Their existence would also alter the carrier balance considered at London. France and Italy's limited carrier holdings helped make continuing restrictions acceptable in the historical negotiations. Italian construction under Washington would strengthen British and American demands for greater carrier provision. The counterfactual could force a choice between expanding the limits and losing the treaty.
