Hood wins headlines while an Admiral carrier alarms navies

On an imperial cruise, Hood's guns would dominate public coverage while professional navies concentrated on the converted sister's unusually large air group.

Question

On an imperial cruise by Hood and an Admiral-class carrier conversion, which ship receives the most attention?

Short answer

The press focuses on Hood's guns, while foreign navies pay closer attention to the carrier and its large air group.

Notes

In this hypothetical imperial cruise, Hood accompanies a sister converted into an Eagle-style carrier. Hood's large guns are expected to attract most of the press coverage. Foreign navies would pay closer attention to the carrier's unusually large air group. The answer separates public fascination with the guns from professional interest in the aircraft the converted hull could operate.
