Given the names for CVA01 and 2 were reportedly going to be Queen Elizabeth and Duke of Edinburgh, chances are they get the same names as the OTL carriers now entering service.As class of two compromise ships with a busy future ahead of them i say HMS Nelson & Rodney would be a good or any other of the famous names the Royal navy can drag out from the dead
There was however one final thing that needed to be agreed upon. What was this first ship to be called?
Given Liz came up again with the OTL carriers name one after her and the other Eagle which I suspect will become a USS Enterprise deal ITTL. That is a name passed down through the generations in memory of a hero ship.Given the names for CVA01 and 2 were reportedly going to be Queen Elizabeth and Duke of Edinburgh, chances are they get the same names as the OTL carriers now entering service.
Except look at the record ITTL:Either one of them is called Ark Royal or any kind of maledictions would befall the Kingdom including (ASB as it may look to you) David Cameron as PM...
Alas in this time period the names Renown and Warspite are taken by submarines. On the other hand HMS King George VI is not taken and won't be until the 2030s and I imagine the Queen would be most pleased to have a ship named after her father be commissioned while she's still alive.HMS King George V and HMS Duke Of York. Or HMS Warspite and HMS Renown.
Not to mention it is in action currently in the royal navy at this point in timeI have read here of gas turbines steam generation used to drive ordinary turbines and providing also steam for catapults. The poster (whose name I am sorry to say that I don't remember) said that the whole arrangement was quite effective.
