A 35,000-ton Invincible-class air group

How many aircraft might a 35,000-ton Invincible-class carrier carry in the Falklands War?

About forty aircraft, perhaps twenty-four Harriers and sixteen Sea Kings in several roles.

Adding about 13,000 tons transforms Invincible rather than merely enlarging the historical ship. An air group of around twenty-four Harriers and sixteen Sea Kings becomes possible. About twelve helicopters could cover anti-submarine work while four provide airborne early warning. Greater displacement would also buy the aviation stores and support spaces needed to sustain that roughly forty-aircraft force.
