Carrier conversions could have reshaped the fast wing

Converting Admiral-class hulls into carriers could have produced a faster Royal Navy force built around carriers, Hood, Renown, and Repulse.

Notes

Carrier conversion shifts from Courageous, Glorious, and Furious to larger Admiral-class hulls. Three fast carriers paired with Hood, Renown, and Repulse could create three powerful task-force groups. Their existence would give the Royal Navy a stronger reason to modernize its remaining fast capital ships before slower units. The same formation could hunt surface raiders, cover wide ocean areas, and support carrier aviation. Conversion policy would reshape fleet architecture as well as individual carrier hulls.
