@ariancontreras4358 technically, wouldn't say that it is impossible, with money and time. Treaties limitations aside. But why would anyone convert a more capable fighting unit (CV) into a lesser type (CB)? That is not practical and not a smart move.

@Kiflic-fx3qp from a stability perspective, better to have weight lower on the ship. The Pensacola class is an oddball and you've already noted the reason (design compromise) that made it necessary.

@savage4173 torpedoe recovery, do you mean in combat or in training & testing? For the later, USN has been using dolphins in recent decades.

@savage4173 for a "war shot", they either detonated at the end of run or sank to the bottom of the ocean. Un-exploded torpedoes floating around are mines and would violate international laws/ treaties. Besides, you can't control who owns the playing field to effect a recovery. Best to deny the asset to anyone. If anyone tried to develop a post battle recovery system for a torpedo fired in anger, I would love to learn about it.
