Could a King George V hull make a useful carrier?

Would King George V hulls make poor aircraft carriers because of their proportions?

The objection is challenged through comparison with Illustrious-class dimensions and the scope to remove weight, while boiler trunking remains a point of disagreement.

The proposed carrier conversion meets an objection that King George V hulls are too short and broad compared with converted battlecruisers. Alex replies by comparing their dimensions with the Illustrious class: the battleship hull has substantial length and beam for a carrier. Removing battleship weight is another part of the argument for a useful conversion. A further objection concerns boiler trunking under a flight deck, which Alex considers manageable given British experience.
