An Incomparable-sized carrier in treaty negotiations

A treaty counterfactual shows how one unusually large existing ship could reshape carrier tonnage rules.

Question

Would an Incomparable-sized Royal Navy carrier become the treaty standard?

Short answer

If completed before the treaties, she might define carrier limits or receive a special exception while still serving as the reference point for every other design.

Notes

Negotiators would have to choose between making the giant carrier the normal ceiling and treating her like Hood as an exception. Either way, her existence would anchor the discussion and likely push later carrier standards upward.
