But really the only changes I desperately want for Hermes by spring 1942 is her CAG, outriggers, crash barrier, fighter director office and maybe radar if we can justify it. Give Hermes eighteen of the FAA's first folding Martlets in addition to eight Albacores. Yes, we can't operate far from immediate sources of bunker oil and avgas, so we'll need to concede operational endurance, and assign a "fast" oiler/supply vessel.
Dammit, as I wrote the above I can sense our resident contrarians, suitably triggered and needing to tell us why this couldn't, wouldn't or shouldn't have occurred. Bait one is likely the availability date of folding Martlets. Next may be the CAG size, or radar availability. Other than this, IDK.
