Due to the accelerated pace of the sim I didn't get around to writing an news post reguarding Siboney's planned rebuild into a training carrier.
Here is the design, cost is 11 months (7 quarters) and 6,443 tons of materials.
Siboney, Atlantean training carrier Carrier laid down 1918

Bunker at max displacement = 1,381 tons
Complement:
630 - 820
Cost:
£1.070 million / $4.280 million
Distribution of weights at normal displacement:
Armament: 0 tons, 0.0 %

Hull, fittings & equipment: 11,208 tons, 82.1 %
Fuel, ammunition & stores: 1,040 tons, 7.6 %
Miscellaneous weights: 700 tons, 5.1 %
Overall survivability and seakeeping ability:
Survivability (Non-critical penetrating hits needed to sink ship):
75,116 lbs / 34,072 Kg = 695.5 x 6 " / 152 mm shells or 10.4 torpedoes
Stability (Unstable if below 1.00): 1.04
Metacentric height 2.8 ft / 0.8 m
Roll period: 16.1 seconds
Steadiness - As gun platform (Average = 50 %): 70 %
- Recoil effect (Restricted arc if above 1.00): 0.00
Seaboat quality (Average = 1.00): 2.00
Hull form characteristics:
Hull has a flush deck
Block coefficient: 0.685
Length to Beam Ratio: 8.52 : 1
'Natural speed' for length: 23.35 kts
Power going to wave formation at top speed: 40 %
Trim (Max stability = 0, Max steadiness = 100): 35
Bow angle (Positive = bow angles forward): 5.00 degrees
Stern overhang: 0.00 ft / 0.00 m
Freeboard (% = measuring location as a percentage of overall length):
- Stem: 28.00 ft / 8.53 m
- Forecastle (15 %): 26.00 ft / 7.92 m
- Mid (50 %): 26.00 ft / 7.92 m
- Quarterdeck (15 %): 26.00 ft / 7.92 m
- Stern: 28.00 ft / 8.53 m
- Average freeboard: 26.27 ft / 8.01 m
Ship space, strength and comments:
Space - Hull below water (magazines/engines, low = better): 23.2 %
- Above water (accommodation/working, high = better): 216.8 %
Waterplane Area: 27,584 Square feet or 2,563 Square metres
Displacement factor (Displacement / loading): 659 %
Structure weight / hull surface area: 238 lbs/sq ft or 1,164 Kg/sq metre
Hull strength (Relative):
- Cross-sectional: 2.60
- Longitudinal: 6.44
- Overall: 2.84
Hull space for machinery, storage, compartmentation is excellent
Room for accommodation and workspaces is excellent
Ship has slow, easy roll, a good, steady gun platform
Excellent seaboat, comfortable, rides out heavy weather easily
550 tons for new structures (island, mock weapons platforms and 1 catapult)
50 tons for aircraft workshop
60 tons for trainee accomidations
30 tons for training personell accomodations
10 tons for aviation fuel
