Britain and the United States have little reason to preserve the World of Warships design's awkward aviation arrangement. Both already understand carrier operations and would value the hull more as an immediately available fast battleship. Removing the flight deck converts an experimental compromise into a powerful capital ship that fits existing doctrine and fleet organization. The British caveat is institutional: a committed advocate might still attempt to operate Swordfish from the hybrid even though conversion is the sounder choice.

Britain and America turn Kearsarge into a fast battleship
Britain and the United States would probably remove Kearsarge's flight deck and build a conventional superstructure around its 30-knot hull and twelve 16-inch guns.
