A disputed interpretation links Unicorn's design to the later light fleet carriers. Separate design codes are one reason for treating them as independent designs. The opposing argument points to corresponding frames, propeller shafts, and general arrangements. On that reading, removing some of Unicorn's workshops and changing internal spaces could adapt an aviation-support design for carrier service.

Matching frames and shaft arrangements support one argument for a design connection, while separate design codes are offered against it.
