As usual comments are welcome

The ship can carry - supposedly - 94 aircraft while you only have weight for 62. Cut off two or three knots of speed, cut the belt armor and upper, and add weight... or alternately, make your ship smaller.

I was thinking of a 60 aircraft CAG and armored flightdeck in the British tradition, is that too few aircraft?

A version that has protected engines...

I'd say 2/3rds of capacity is right if you want an armoured flight deck. Although I understand why you'd want to armour the flight deck - investments need to be protected after all - all of my research and musings indicate armoured flight decks are a good way to waste your ship. This is pretty clearly demonstrated by war experience.

Which, of course, is EXTREMELY scant at this point in time.

Armoured flightdecks are usefull, armoured hangars along with armoured decks on the other hand are the real waste. It simply exchanges aircraft numbers for survivability making the carrier less efiicient in its intended role.

Exactly.

However, the USN came to the proper conclusion without having the war experience.

Well to be fair, the British expected their carriers to be in more enclosed waterways so armour was more appealing.

Pre-war, they also didn't have the aircraft available in the FAA; and they were also operating under the assumption that "The bomber will always get through." That has already been disproven in the South American War - I recall Argentine fighters felling a majority of B-17s from one raid.

The USN, as I understand, preferred to launch massive strikes and valued the larger airgroup over internal hanger protection. The British wanted to protect their carriers with the internal hanger, at the cost of airgroup. It'll mostly be doctrine driving design, at this point.

Restricting the hangar capacity to 2/3rds isn't accurate. The difference in complements mostly comes down to the RN not extensively operating a deck park like the USN and the difference in aircraft size. The USN typically had a great deal more fighters in the airgroup makeup and these are smaller.

HMS Implacable could carry a maximum of 113 aircraft but typically operated 80 with 48 fighters. For a 4000ton larger Essex class, the number was 103 with 73 being fighters. You've got fairly similar levels of offensive power available.

Unarmoured flight decks only really make sense for the USN where there are a massive amount of aircraft and pilots to replenish losses. Other navies didn't have that luxury. The FAA for example had 300 aircraft for most of the 1930s.

You've got a lot of trade-offs and it all depends on what role you envisage and what threats there are.

Italy has gone for armoured flight decks on the most recent carriers with a loss of around 20 in aircraft complement. However, its difficult to operate large numbers of aircraft efficiently and. Given the limited numbers of aircraft available, the limited number of aircraft carriers and the probability of operating within range of land power it makes sense.

Is one of these vessels actually intended for construction, or are they just design studies?

Does it matter?

They are studies for now

A simple "they are studies for now" would have sufficed.

While I'm still baffled as to why Persia needs a carrier it seems like this carrier will be an escort to the Indo-Persian amphibious group with a large enough air group for both CAP and strike missions.

If this is so an armoured flight deck might be a small hinderance but operating inside the Persian Gulf it is a neccesity. In WW the RN have shunned the armour deck for weight, hence cost, reasons and the realisation that a bigger air group is required. HMS Eagle is about the biggest the RN is willing to build. I'm not ready for Midway clones yet.

One question, why do these ships have bulges? Surely internal TB would suffice?

As i said first try, why would internal TB be better?

The bulges help its true, and they give extra bouyancy and stability but they also produce drag and so you need more engine power for that 32 knots speed so are building a ship bigger than you have to. You have enough beam for a reasonably effective layered torpedo bulkhead system.

Less armor and internal torpedo protection
