Beautifull work Bombhead,

The only criticism (or the only serious doubt :?: ) I have to do to you, is that I think the width of your flight-deck (40 meters) is too large for this 260 meters battlecruiser-hull :?

Incomparable was "supposed" to be 1.000 feet long, or around 304 meters.
If she had kept the same lenght/beam ratio of HMS hood she would had a beam of almost 37 meters, so taking into account the flight deck overhang at the sides 40m is not unreasonable.

Incredible work of art BH, very well done.
Always a pleasure to see one more carrier from you

Neat work indeed, I'd not heard of her original design but as a carrier she's certainly interesting. Also true to form, the RN continues the tradition with having some great names for its ships.

Just a question though, what are those big bulky biplanes you have forward of the flight deck? It looks kinda like an Avro Bison.

I believe those are Blackburn Blackburns, quilte possibly one of the ugliest aircraft ever to take to the skies.
Speaking of aircraft, you've got a spare folded stringbag hovering next to the topview.
“Close” only counts with horseshoes, hand grenades, and tactical nuclear weapons.

Good grief, that would have been a monster. And a lot more useful than she ever would have been as a battlecruiser. I think Fisher lost it a bit at the end.

Stunning work BH.
She's turned out as impressive as I'd hoped she would.

I think the beam is about right. Working out aircraft capacity of the hangar's isn't easy but I reckon 80+ could be accommodated in the late 1920s. She would be very much a British equal to the Lexington and Saratoga and IJN conversions.
