The rebuild of HMS Victorious was a nightmare, but could it have gone any differently in the circumstances? The flight deck was fitted and then removed to fit new boilers, and then re-rebuilt to incorporate steam catapults, angled deck and the Type 984 radar.

But if the boilers were fitted when the flight deck first came off would the rebuild have incorporated the angled deck, steam catapults and 984, or would these be too immature? Or does the immaturity even matter given that Victorious only lasted until 1968 anyway?
