I understand you. However, there had been some rumors around about Australia closely looking at two designs: the French Mistral and another derived from the Principe de Asturias (that one could have been chose). This would be a projection ship more than a true carrier. However, with the war coming why not (anyway these carriers are carrying 15 helicopters and 12 harriers) ? Especially as it serves my purpose.
