Great works! I'd like to propose a different deck layout:
I think that fitting angled deck to the
Malta class carriers would probably take place in the mid- to late- 1950s, I believe It would resemble changes done to
HMS Victorious and Centaur class carriers:
- minor changes to the orginal design (like
HMS Centaur),
- using the deck-edge lifts as a part of angled deck (like
HMS Hermes)
- the angled deck would be build as a light structure, the catapults would remain in its original place (like
HMS Victorious).
And it happened this layout gives more deck space than this proposed above
I'm not skilled with drawing, so I merged existing works. I have no rights for those designs:
HMS Hermes' deckplan for general idea:
