Nice one, I never knew the fate of it.
Thanks for the report
Welcome to the forum!
Good info thanks
I wonder what impact that carrier would have had on the war if it was commissioned!

Thanks Ade for the photos
This carrier would have been sunk outright by the RN and would have made for another great B/W war picture!

You are right Rene, it would have been sunk quickly by the RN

Great photos of what would have been a doomed ship. I agree with Rene' and Nick 100%. You fine Brits wouldn't have tolerated that bohemoth floating in your back yard. It would have gone the way of the Tripitz or Bismarck.
