OK so I got to thinking it might be handy to have a CV to serve with my Battle Group. New being out of the question for the moment, I had a brain storm. with the 2 new BBs there will be very little reason to keep Huascar around so why not see how it would function as a CV.
Opinions are welcomed (advice to as I proly messed up the conversion somehow)
