How four Maltas could reshape the postwar Royal Navy

What would four completed Malta-class carriers mean for the postwar Royal Navy?

They could anchor a long-lived carrier fleet, possibly support a five-carrier policy, and undergo major angled-deck modernization.

Audacious-type wartime carriers would remain useful initially, then the youngest could supplement four Malta-class ships as older hulls left service. The larger Maltas would become the long-lived core of carrier task groups and could accept extensive angled-flight-deck conversions similar in concept to the American Midways.
