Nice concept for ship designers to come up with, but as Wes says, I wouldn't rate this against say Vengeance and Aloith or Repulse and Glorious.

What historical incidents do you know where AVs or CVs or any other ship was lost to minor damage but heavy avgas fires?

I really cannot follow this "argument". What´s the point in bringing up a 38500ts capital ship and a 13500ts carrier or an even heavier british compination of BC and CV to counter a single 31000ts unit and claiming them to be superior?
In fact, if such a combination is necessary so you feel confident to have a chance against my design I´d say I´ve done something right and it´s the best argument PRO building it! ;o)

Seriously, if I´d like to counter Vengeance I send a similar sized South Africa, Mocambique or Ophion and blow her out of the water. Even the design above or her older cousin Triumph may stand a chance 1-on-1 versus Vengeance as the latter has no imune zone (or at best between 20000m and 22000m) against the 33cm gun firing a 515kg shell. And of course I could add a purpose build CV at any time too....
So again what´s your point in bringing up 50000+ tons of warships against a single unit of a bit more than half that tonnage?
