Why converted escort carriers risked awkward fuel layouts

Converted escort carriers are suggested as likely candidates for awkward aviation-fuel or magazine placement, without a particular ship being identified.

Question

Which ship had the worst placement of aviation fuel or magazines?

Short answer

Probably one of the converted escort carriers, but no particular hull or arrangement is identified.

Notes

Converted escort carriers are suggested as the likeliest examples of awkward aviation-fuel or magazine placement. The answer concerns a category of ships and remains tentative. No individual vessel or arrangement is identified as definitively the worst.
