Well, everything is contained in the thread title.:p

I do know that Hermes had been stripped of its catapults in the early 70's to be used as a helocarrier only.

Whatif the RN managed to get a handful of Gannet AEW out of the scrappyard and flew them aboard Hermes ? Of course this suppose they can fit back the catapults in a crash program. I can't see a Gannet flying out of Hermes without the catapults, otherwise I suppose the RN would have crash-programmed that after the loss of Sheffield ?

How does a Gannet AEW compare to the Sea King AEW that flew out of Invincibles some years after the Falklands ?
How much of an early warning provided to the fleet against incoming Daggers and Skyhawks ?
