More carriers would not solve Suez's diplomatic defeat

Would a much larger Royal Navy carrier force have changed the outcome of the Suez Crisis?

It could have accelerated the military operation, but Suez was lost politically and diplomatically rather than through a lack of carrier power.

Extra British carriers would have made the Suez operation move even faster. The intervention was essentially won in military terms and lost in diplomacy. Replacing diplomats with more ships would not have helped because British diplomatic officials understood the situation. The failure lay in government choices and the political framework directing the armed forces, not in insufficient naval striking power.
