Wider construction by the leading naval powers could make small flight-deck carriers attractive elsewhere. Sweden is imagined building one in place of its seaplane-carrying cruiser. France could choose one or two instead of a seaplane carrier, and the Netherlands is another possible adopter. Italy might follow because other navies already possessed the type. These are proposed national responses to a visible example, with no single construction programme assumed for every country.

Small flight decks as alternatives to seaplane carriers
France, Sweden, and possibly the Netherlands could adopt small flight decks, while Italy might imitate them for prestige.
