Oh as for the mighy powerful british carrier fleet near the end of the pacific war, That just caused more problems than good, To sya they did so good against the kamikazis is utter BS, The yanks had been the ones to spill there blood to find out how to deal with them, Not to mention, The powerful carrier fleet the brits had, just drained more resources. The yanks by this time had over 100 carriers of different types and sizes. It was just plublicity for the brits.
Your statement is BS mate, British carriers had armoured flight decks, while American ones where wooden. A Kamikazi to a wooden flight deck will put it out of action for a long time, while all the British carriers needed was for the crew to push the wreckage over the side and fill the dent with quick-drying concrete.
