If E-in-C gets minimum power predicted of 42,000shp (3 plants giving the 126,000shp figure), then this is somewhat transformative.


Implacables are now much more a development of Illustrious. Likely with the still limited height double hanger of OTL.

This make Indomitable still an intermediate vessel again as per OTL.


To my understanding capital ship plant is one of the bottlenecks in production. A cut of 25% in number of plants for Implacables must have a modest effect on


But this exerts influence on Centaur and Irresistible/Audacious design processes. As now they have 168,000shp and 84,000shp respectively.

Arguably Malta might opt for a 5 shaft arrangement for 210,000shp or to further improve induvidual plant power upto 45,000shp to 50,000shp.
