Hi Csasch,
You started an intersting thread, but it is possible that you are not aware that 'what if' questions are not part of U-boat.net. I know, as I too have fallen into the trap when I speculated on the effect of torpedoes on navies with smaller budgets in the opening years of the 20th Century.
That said, the commanders and leaders of the time had to deal with 'what if' scenarios in order to carry out their duties at the time. I think the tone of this thread incorporates an example of how that can become relevant in that the British carriers were designed to function in the short/medium range environments of the Med and the Atlantic,yet some of them ended up working alongside longrange US carriers in the Pacific.
