    Modernise Vanguard and the KGV’s for the 1980s

(Before anyone asks Yes CVA-01 through 04 are built in this timeline, so no yapping about building carriers instead, this is a perfect world for the RN, so the...

    I'm web surfing to see if there's another preliminary design about Illustrious class(1939), as other carrier(like HMS Ark Royal) did. But strangely enough, there was no mention of this. So I ended up asking you about the Preliminary design about Illustrious class aircraft carrier. Does anyone...

    What's the situation of the Royal Navy if the WW2 broke out in 1944, not 1939?

    When I was surfing the Internet, I saw a post on the World of Warship Forum(https://forum.worldofwarships.eu/topic/3095-what-if-the-war-began-in-1944-royal-navy-battleships/) that an article assuming World War II would have broken out in 1944. And after reading that, I wondered what would...

I surfed the web to find related information or blueprints, but I ended up in vain. So I ask some help about it. Does anyone have the relevant...

    If an aircraft carrier had been assigned to Force Z, what would have happened in history?

    While I was reading about a report abou Sinking of Prince of Wales and Repulse, I suddenly wondered what history would have been like if HMS Indomitable had been assigned to the Force Z without any damage, or if the Implacable Class Aircraft Carrier had been built earlier than the original...

    HMS Hermes as Sea Control Ship

    The saga of HMS Hermes is well known. But it might have been different if the RN had followed the US example and kept her as an ASW carrier or interim Sea Control Ship. The US were introducing the S3 Viking on to their attack carriers but were keen to get as many to sea as possible. HMS Hermes...

    You have 40-ish million pounds to build a CV for the RN early 60s...what does it look like?

    Not something I think fits in the alt-F11 thread but related to it, kind of. The RN is going to spend 16 million rebuilding Eagle, picking Tiger saves about 20-25 million over F-4 combine those two figures as your budget to build a new carrier with a 30 year hull life rather than spending 16 of...

    Larger British light fleet carriers?
