IOTL, HMS Illustrious took a severe beating from German dive-bombers while escorting convoys as part of Operation Excess, but survived. Suppose the Germans manage to get in a few more hits, enough to either sink Illustrious or damage her to the point that the British declare her a constructive total loss. Beyond the effects caused by her absence from the rest of the war, would there be any effect on Royal Navy carrier design philosophy?
