So, let's say that Britain decides that she needs SOME carrier force, but that she NOW has no money for CVA-01 class, so the decide in 1969.:
- stop building of the CVA-01 for a 5- 10 years
- remain in the Fleet as fleet carriers HMS Ark Royal and a HMS Eagle
- equip Ark & Eagle with combination: F-8 Crusader as a fighter and Bucaneer as a strike aircraft
- retain in the Fleet HMS Victorious and HMS Hermes as a commando carrier ( equipped with Commando Sea King ) and a HMS Bulwark and HMS Albion as a anti-submarine carriers ( Sea Tracker ) ( they can serve as a commando carriers as well, if a need arises )
- If not retaining of HMS Bulwark and HMS Albion, than build 2 LPD of the Fearless class
Is it possible?
And, what concequences?
