  1. Can you com up with a reason the Germans so doggedly stuck with triple screw propulsion for its major warships when of all the three alternatives (twin, triple, quad) the triple seems to offer the least advantages compared to its disadvantages. If the RN had completed the Malta class carriers, how useful would they have been and how would they compare to an Essex or Midway?

  2. It seems the French Navy finally got it's act together with this ship as opposed to the gun farm that was the Lyon. A thought that occurred to me is that the German Navy's Plan Z to oppose the RN totally fails to factor in the French Navy. With these four ships, plus carriers to add the the building program the RN would have certainly undertaken, it would have been WW1 all over again for the German Navy
