RHS Carrier distribution by scenario

[el cid again]

This information on an Excel spreadsheet has been sent to the primary distribution list - which is easier to read. It explains what carriers are available in which scenario? And the totals of carriers by type and aircraft capacity by scenario.

There ARE changes to RN carriers - Victorious changed class - and in EBO - Unicorn is renamed and laid as a repeat Implacable - while Audacious is not redesigned and the class leader appears in time for the war.

Note 1: There were historical plans for 1/3, 2/3 and full conversions of all battleships drawn up post Midway. Only the full conversions could land actual carrier planes - so semi-carriers embarked numbers of seaplane bombers which could land using a Hein Mat.
