How more carriers could change Royal Navy task forces

A larger carrier fleet could provide separate anti-submarine ships, more aviation experience, and groups of two carriers with two fast capital ships.

Notes

The hypothetical allowance provides room for ten 30,000-ton carriers, while carriers below 14,000 tons would fall outside the limit. Britain might also build smaller ships for duties such as anti-submarine hunting, sparing fleet carriers the exposure that led to Courageous's loss. More carriers would provide more experienced aviation officers and damage-control personnel throughout the fleet. With additional fast capital ships available, groups of two carriers and two fast capital ships become a plausible starting point for formations such as Force H. Glorious's historical isolation would be less likely within that proposed organisation.
