A new carrier based on the G3 hull form

Fresh carrier construction could use a G3 hull design to provide size and speed without retaining the full battlecruiser armour scheme.

Notes

A G3 hull form could provide a starting point for a large, fast carrier. Fresh construction could proceed alongside the G3 battlecruisers. The illustrative carrier has twin islands. It could omit much of the capital-ship armour while retaining protection against cruiser gunfire, since a cruiser ambush was a concern for carriers. Its size would support enough fighters and strike aircraft for the intended tasks.
