  1.  @brendonbewersdorf986  Bearn is not that far off of Eagle's specifications, a bit shorter, and a bit slower. Both navies were trying to climb a learning curve at the time, and using what was at hand, instead of a clean sheet design. The best thing I can think of, for the French to do, is forget Bearn, and claim one of the unfinished Mackensen class battlecruisers, as war reparations, for conversion to a carrier. Trying to get a faster hull from the UK (retired battlecruiser) or Italy (Caracciolo), would require payment. Free from Germany is better.
