Would Italian light carriers make Britain build light carriers too?

Would three or four Italian light carriers force Britain to respond with similar ships?

Britain would still have reasons to prefer fleet carriers with greater strike capacity; light and escort carriers answer different demands.

The proposed Italian ships would support reconnaissance and air defence. Britain would want additional offensive capacity as well as those functions. An Implacable-type ship therefore remains attractive for the Mediterranean and Far East. A light fleet carrier could grow from a Unicorn-related design when an emergency created demand for more decks quickly. Escort carriers would serve convoy requirements, so their usefulness does not decide the fleet-carrier choice.
