Do liners make sensible carrier conversions?

Would it make sense to use a liner as the basis for an aircraft carrier?

It can make sense for an experimental conversion, though a purpose-built carrier is preferable once requirements are known.

A liner offers useful hull form and machinery for an experimental carrier conversion, while a collier provides deeper open cargo space and more concentrated engines. Either conversion inherits arrangements that may obstruct an efficient aviation layout. That compromise can be worthwhile when a navy is still discovering what carrier operations demand. Once the requirements are understood, a purpose-built carrier is the better basis for a mature fleet.
