Is it going to be a large super carrier like ours or one of those small carriers with a ramp?
At the time of WWII the British came up with some better ideas such as the steel decks and the offset deck.

Roughly the same dimensions of the old USS Midway, although slightly less displacement (65,000 tons). She'll be finished with the ski-jump, but the design is deliberately engineered for retrofitting of catapults and angled-deck arrestor gear. But that's highly unlikely to happen since the Brits are so heavily investing in the F-35B for her and her sister (Prince of Wales)
