RN opts for Scheme C (as opposed to real life they adopted Scheme B) of 25,000tons 1923. Ordered 1926....?


LBP 780ft, LOA 820ft

Beam 92ft

Draught fed 23.5ft, aft 25.5ft

Displacement 25,000tons

Deep 29,500tons

SHP 180,000shp

Speed 34.5kts

Deep 33kts

Fuel 4,000tons

Endurance 6,000nm

Complement 1200

Aircraft 50 approximately

4.7" by 6

8" by 6 in 3 twin turrets.

Revised design removes 8" guns for more 4.7" guns, inncreases beam to 94ft. Result is larger hanger capacity.


Choosing this doesn't exceed the UK drydock limitations.

This of instead of modernisations of the shallow battlecruisers.


Effectively this sets the RN up for a different outcome of Armoured carriers later on
