Capturing a carrier is much harder than sinking it

How could an old British-built light fleet carrier be captured, and what use would it have afterward?

Seizing control would require isolating the carrier and preventing resistance or scuttling; bringing the ageing ship home would remain difficult, with disposal or museum preservation among the suggested outcomes.

A submarine can isolate a carrier by destroying its escorts, yet boarding still depends on forcing the ship to stop without provoking scuttling or resistance. Helicopter-borne marines could land openly, while a covert team might try to secure engineering control and the island before reinforcements arrive. Holding the hangar and flight deck would then permit more personnel to come aboard. Even a successful seizure leaves a lightly modernized British-built light fleet carrier that is difficult to repair, crew, and bring home. Sinking the ship remains operationally simpler, while preservation as a museum or trophy would be driven largely by politics.
