    Trying to figure out which countries could actually handle the cost of light fleet carriers in 1946-60, so do we have any actual data at what prices the Colossus and Majestic class ships were sold by Britain in 1946-60?

    Does anyone know about the KGV class with 15/45" guns blueprint designed in 1935?

    https://naval-encyclopedia.com/ww2/uk/king-george-v-class-battleships.php?amp=1 According to the site, I'm looking for three KGV-class designs designed in 1935 with nine 15-inch guns, but I couldn't find them no matter how much I looked. Is there anyone who knows more details about the design?

    Alternative Centaurs?

    the heart of the Centaur class carriers is the use of two capital ship plants, producing 76,000shpin total. Hermes got improved plants for 80,000shp. If the RN had driven more powerful plant machinery prior to WWII, then arguably the Centaurs would be larger carriers. Ideally to something...
