Who could have used an Alaska-class cruiser?

Which countries might have benefited from buying Alaska-class ships after 1947?

France is the strongest candidate, with Turkey and Japan plausible in more specialized scenarios; the Netherlands would gain more from a light fleet carrier.

An Alaska would be an expensive, crew-intensive flagship rather than a universally useful export. France is the most plausible buyer, especially if it wanted to replace a heavily used wartime capital ship while retaining two major gunships. Turkey could use one as a successor to Yavuz and a visible statement of naval status. Japan would gain a large surface asset that did not violate postwar restrictions on aircraft carriers and carried none of the political associations of an Imperial Japanese warship. The Netherlands is less convincing because a light fleet carrier would provide better fleet command and aviation utility for the same broad strategic need. The best purchaser is a navy that needs a flagship badly enough to accept Alaska's manpower and operating costs.
