Post-War Carrier (1950 Concept)
Post-War Carrier Concept - 1950 Theoretical! - 0 boats: POST-WAR CARRIER - Pure speculation - Germany prohibited from carriers! Theoretical post-war design incorporating Pacific War lessons. 55,000 tons, 33 kts, 50 aircraft (20 early jets + 10 piston + 20 attack - transitional mix!). Guns removed (post-war carrier trend - missiles/aircraft defense only!). Hydraulic catapults (improved from compressed air), early jet aircraft capability (subsonic jets). 12,000 nm range. PURE SPECULATION - West Germany prohibited from carriers (post-war restrictions), East Germany had no carrier program (Soviet bloc), unified Germany focused on U-boats and land forces. NATO carrier aviation provided by US/Britain instead. THEORETICAL ONLY - no German carrier plans, pure alternate history! NEVER BUILT!
