this is in a post from some time ago on the navweaps dis boards,as i said it and i could be wrong but no contributor could find a war ship that got back to port with 3 or more torp hits,the 2 ships that did were japanese tankers in ballast.

i would also say that the rn carriers were far more resistant to fire,usn ijn carriers could carry more aircraft than rn armoured carriers,you pay your money and take your chance.

Variations in aircraft capacity of carriers is largely doctrinal, not physical. Had the RN chosen the doctrine of "decking" their aircraft as the USN did, their aircraft capacities would have been easily comparable.

Ark Royal held 72 aircraft within her double hangar decks. Had she been given the aircraft to do so, there is no reason she could not have accomodated another 25 or so on her flight deck. Paper stats were extremely subjective due to doctrinal differences between navies.

agree about the ark,the armoured illustrious could only carried 36 due to the great weight of armour,but the far smaller colossus class carried about the same without the armour if iir.

later in the war the illustrious class carried aircraft on outriggers on the flightdeck and could carry near 50 aircraft , the indom near 60 and the indefatigable type were larger and could carry over 80.
early in the war though the pilots and aircraft were just not available.

yes agree,iir the sverdiov secondery guns are very similar to the german tri/stabalised 105mm guns.
