How would a Queen Elizabeth-class carrier with its modern power plant but Second World War technology compare with armoured carriers?
Short answerThe large air group would be formidable. Excessive power supplied to period radar is also imagined as a danger to the equipment and nearby personnel.
NotesA modern Queen Elizabeth-class hull with a Second World War air group would gain an imposing aviation capacity from its size and flight deck. Its modern power plant would also supply much more electrical power than the period equipment was accustomed to. A provocative part of the scenario imagines that excessive power could damage the contemporary radar equipment. With poorly focused beams, the speculative warning extends to physical injury nearby.
