Could a larger Invincible-class program after the Falklands War become an export success?
Short answerPotentially; lower costs and demonstrated Harrier operations could attract Australia, Canada, and India, probably with national adaptations.
NotesExportability depends partly on whether Britain builds enough ships to reduce price and demonstrate a stable support base. A larger domestic Invincible program would make the class less of a bespoke purchase for a foreign navy. Australia, Canada, and India are identified as plausible markets, with India perhaps receiving an adapted version. Sea Harrier's success would reinforce the package by proving the carrier-aircraft combination in service.
