It’s fine
Unfortunately no, all carriers (and battleships) were not preserved.
There are several other ships and boats (MTB 102, HMS Belfast, HMS medusa) but no carriers.

No, all were either scrapped or sunk, with the last remaining ww2 era royal navy carrier being HMS Venerable, scrapped in 2000 after being in the Netherlands and argentinian navy (as venticinco de mayo). I have just come across HMS vengance, which was sold to brazil and then scrapped in 2004

Shame, would’ve been cool to have a chance to see different WW2 carrier design doctrines

as museums? no… the closest we have it the fleet air arm museum in Yeovil which has a hangar painted to look like a carrier.
we scuttle/scrap all old carriers annoyingly.

And battleships
I’m still mad about Warspite

That is unless you count the vikrant, which was scrapped in 2014
Yeah, personally I hope they make at least one nuclear carrier a museum ship

They cant
Maybe not for enterprise since it had 8 reactors, but maybe for newer CVN’s once they are fully retired
the problem with nuclear carrier is how comically expensive a decommissioning of the reactor is, plus generic fearmongering about the safety of nuclear power from the last 60 years would make it a media nightmare to get one of them opened to the public
They already do defuel the reactors on older CVN, happened 2010s for the Enterprise

its not just defueling for a decommission, you have to do a lot of contamination cleanup which is very expensive to do.
plus to make it a museum vessel you have to be super OCD with the decontamination just to be safe for the public, even if the boiler rooms are locked away for everyone.

I’d be excited for this normally but since you have destroyed Naval AB in the last update, I really don’t care about what new ships you bring out.
Just make visitors sign a waiver
and be torn to shredy by the media that took the simpsons nuclear plant as a realistic depiction of how nuclear is? wouldn’t happen mate
Mk XVIIB APC had been already implemented along with Warspite in the last major. Historically there was no so called “high hardness” version of 15" APC. The “high performance” APC made by Cardonald was never put into mass production as the existing stocks were considered sufficient. After all, there’s no plan for implementing quality factors in penetration calculations.
So the only possible improvement on firepower in the future would be the introduction of supercharge.
I’m sure this will be paired with several BRs of decompression right?
Surely this wouldn’t be like a 0.3 increase where you’ll ‘‘monitor’’ the situation without ever actually doing anything no matter how bad it is like has been done for the last 10 years, right?!
Okay, if i remember you had data on the performance of the 15" apc rounds, and said they were underperforming, is there anything we can do there?
