A lot of people suggest that Britain and/or other countries might get an ex American carrier for their fleets, but what if the USN decided to buy the HMS Eagle which was prematurely retired in 1972?
A possible justification might be that it is easier to Americanise an existing 50,000 ton British carrier carrier to get more big aircraft to sea than do another Midway style refit on Coral Sea and FDR and lose freeboard and seakeeping.
