The problem was, that they should have been scrapped in '47 and a new Carrier pursued instead.


By the 50's the Sverdlov Threat meant a perceived need for a counter and Korea made things even more pressing.


Strictly the Cruisers Destroyer would have been cheaper and more flexible.


All that said, it's a shame they didn't get the Type 984 and CDS.  Which would have greatly improved radar coverage of a force.
