  1. I had some thoughts on what a modernised Lexington and Saratoga. Have their 2 small elevators replaced with the 3 large ones found on the Yorktowns. Replace the 5/25 guns and 8-inch guns with 5-inch/38s in single and dual mounts respectively. Widen and extend the flight deck and add torpedo blisters in exchange for cutting back the belt armour back by a couple of inches. Only thing missing is someone at the Bureau of Aeronautics or Bureau of ships figuring out the dangers of avgas on a carrier and come up with the CO2 and proper ventilation and suppression systems.
