How many aircraft might a rebuilt Implacable have carried?

What aircraft capacity might a rebuilt Implacable-class carrier have achieved?

Approximately 60 to 72 aircraft, depending on the hangar reconstruction and whether deck-edge lifts were adopted.

An extensive Implacable-class rebuild might carry roughly 72 aircraft, with about 60 as a more conservative figure. The result depends on how radically the hangar is reshaped. Deck-edge lifts could improve aircraft movement and preserve useful internal space, though the idea had been rejected as too extensive during the Victorious reconstruction. Nominal hull size alone cannot determine a modernized carrier's air-group capacity.
