Trying to figure out which countries could actually handle the cost of light fleet carriers in 1946-60, so do we have any actual data at what prices the Colossus and Majestic class ships were sold by Britain in 1946-60? And for that matter how much their modernization with angled fight decks and...

In the US Carriers book, Friedman mentions that after the war, considerations had to be made in carrier designs for a "14-inch rocket", that did not progress far enough to enter service:
The only information on this rocket I could find comes from the Wikipedia article on the Tiny Tim:
(I would...
The Iwo Jima (CV-46) of the Essex class was cancelled incomplete after the war. But according to Friedman, there were plans to redesign the ship to alleviate the deficiencies of the Essex class (the plans died with the cancellation of the carrier):
Does anyone have information on this redesign?
Why Argentine aircraft carriers were unable to carry Super Etendard during the Falklands War?
Some information claims that the ship only underwent relevant modifications after the war, including upgrading the catapult and inertial navigation system. The stern lift was welded. There is also...

Does anyone have any clear overall photos or drawings of the deck markings worn by the Vikrant in the 80s ? When it operated both the Sea Harrier STOVL and the Alizé CATOBAR.
At that time she had markings for the Shar similar to those on the Hermes or Illustrious and markings for the Alizés...

Will the trend be towards larger aircraft carriers or smaller ones ? Could we see "very light carriers" again ?

According to the site above, there are several aircraft carrier plans planned by Regia Marina's Lieutenant General Bonfiglietti, does anyone know more about this?
I modified an Iowa battlecarrier plan to try to make it more realistic. In particular, the elevator is moved to free up the skijump ramp and the deck is lengthened in a Kiev-class style.
I was curious to see if there had been any drawings of this paper ship plan.
Basically a anti sub/ trade lane protector ship for th usn, 20 s-3 in 2 squadrons plus 4-8 small anti snuper aircraft (presumably a-4 but no design specified) and 16 sea kings, to be biult in the 70's to replace the...

HMS Furious, Langley and the Hosho are the more well known early carriers that were made, to a certain degree the Ausonia is also fairly well known. How about the others? For example I've found a proposal to convert the HMS Vindictive into a full deck carrier made in 1918. Any others?
This idea came to me when I read the story of HTMS Chakri Naruebet. Since 2006, it has had no air group following the withdrawal of the Thai Navy's AV-8S Harriers and the failure to purchase AV-8B or Sea Harriers.
Would it be possible to convert an S/VTOL aircraft carrier for STOBAR operations...
It is known that originally the 4th member of the Kitty Hawk class carriers the USS John F. Kennedy were to be nuclear powered variant of that class and would had been the 2nd nuclear carrier in the USN and in the world using a new Westinghouse A3W reactor design though there were plans to build...
I'm web surfing to see if there's another preliminary design about Illustrious class(1939), as other carrier(like HMS Ark Royal) did. But strangely enough, there was no mention of this.
So I ended up asking you about the Preliminary design about Illustrious class aircraft carrier. Does anyone...
While I was reading a information about Audacious class on Mr.ArmouredCarrier's site, I saw information that there was another Audacious class design. I surfed the web to find related information or blueprints, but I ended up in vain.
So I ask some help about it. Does anyone have the relevant...
