Wouldn't fit 25 de Mayo. Case in point: France had a half-sistership (Arromanches) - and nobody ever dared to try.In fact the Crouzes barely fit a 34 000 tons Clem' , only with reinforced BLC - and still with atrocious attrition: 26 out of 42 procured, 1964-1999.No idea how Crusaders fit on SBC-125A Essexs, but on Clems they were quite "hot" on landings. As much I love the Crusader, it was a massive bitch to land on any medium carrier. Found some stats one day, out of (a bit less than) 1300 build, at least 1000 got some kind of serious mishap in their useful lives. Get to check the exact number, but it was eye-popping high.
