How quickly could Fisher build the carriers?

The scenario depends on practical construction and aviation constraints. The carrier is intended to avoid surface combat, leaving escorts to fight while it delivers a fast-moving fleet capability. Fisher might therefore treat it as the coming capital ship and order as many as six in monthly succession, using machinery already available from other programs. Removing heavy guns and some armor complications could shorten the historical Courageous and Glorious building path, though a conservative sixteen-month estimate still puts the first completion after Jutland. Murray Sueter's torpedo focus, an earlier Sopwith Cuckoo, and the Sopwith Pup determine whether the flight decks become operational weapons rather than impressive empty hulls.
