Yes please Mike Pryce!! Regards Pioneer

I've had another thought on this, they still had a Majestic hull uncompleted, and did think of conversion of a Colossus to the task of AAW, but it was rejected as too slow. However the Majestic hull is there and with better machinary, either Y200 or YEAD1, they could squeeze the necessary...

Ah, my mistake then.

Still... workable, I guess, but the S-E is barely supersonic (transsonic would be a closer term). How exactly this treshold is determined? Hm. Actually a good question!

...disposed of. The Escort Cruiser was meant to offer some shore firepower and provide additional Sea Slug cover too - something the Colossus/Majestic could not have done. There was a brief mid-50s flirtation with rebuilding Colossus/Majestic hulls into Sea Slug missile cruisers but the result...

A thought on this, the Majestic class battleships Illustrious and Victorious both decommissioned in 1915 for conversion into other roles.....could get the names in as Aircraft Carriers early.....:)

We agree on that. Colossus / Majestic, NO; Centaurs maybe; Centaurs to Hermes standard, YES. France never dared to try landing or launching an Etendard IVM from Arromanches.

Thank you. Now that's quite an interesting idea: kinda turning all those Colossus / Majestic into upscaled Jeanne d'Arc / Doria / Moskva ? That is, an "air group" part big naval SAMs, part helicopters ?

My recommendation would be to push the bridge well forward, and place the starboard deck edge elevator immediately aft of the island. Maybe a second one behind it. Flight deck ops center would hang over the starboard elevator And the port elevator also aft, roughly where the arresting gear is...

Here's a question, presumably with no wrong answer. Would you personally prefer the RAN to have 2 Majestics in whatever spec or the Hermes post 1966 refit then refitted for the RAN?
