Additional British carriers would require more aircraft and could keep Swordfish in front-line squadrons longer. The North Atlantic would be a likely place to retain them because large concentrations of land-based fighters were uncommon there. Albacores would probably go first to the Mediterranean and then the Far East. British night-flying experience and search radar would favor an opening night attack on the German group. A strike from four carriers could inflict severe damage, although sinking every ship would remain uncertain.

More carriers could keep Swordfish in the North Atlantic
A larger carrier force would need more aircraft, making regional allocation of Swordfish and Albacores part of the counterfactual.
