Question

How many aircraft might the proposed carrier conversion of Impero have carried?

Short answer

Probably about forty, although the studies considered a range of air-group sizes.

Notes

A range of air-group options was examined for converting the unfinished battleship Impero into a carrier. About forty aircraft is offered as the most likely figure. The brief answer treats that number as an estimate. It does not establish that every proposal shared one settled capacity.
