The machinery cost behind an Olympic carrier conversion

Would buying RMS Olympic in 1935 for conversion into an auxiliary aircraft carrier make sense?

It would produce an interesting carrier, but the old liner's machinery and reboilering needs would make the conversion expensive.

The proposed conversion starts from a very large liner able to make about 25 knots, dimensions that look useful for an aviation ship. The result could be an interesting light or auxiliary carrier. The obstacle is more than installing a flight deck. By the late 1930s Olympic required major engine and boiler work, so the navy would be acquiring a conversion project and a machinery reconstruction at the same time. Apparently cheap merchant-hull conversions must therefore be judged by remaining mechanical life as well as deck area and speed.
