Would a victorious Germany use copied British fleet-carrier designs or insist on a unique design?
Short answerEither is plausible: copied British designs could symbolize victory, while a unique German design built by British yards could demonstrate industrial domination.
NotesIn the victorious-Germany scenario, using British carrier designs could advertise that the Royal Navy had been defeated. A German navy could treat the captured design expertise as a symbol of that victory. Another possibility is to compel British yards to build Germany's own plans. That choice would demonstrate control over the defeated country's shipbuilding industry. Prestige can support either decision.
