Even the Illustrious were Treaty-compliant in terms of design, she couldn't carry an armoured deck because she had a two level hangar AND she had to be Treaty-compliant; Ark Royal was supposed to operate in East Asia, where the threat of land based bombers was supposed to be inferior and the need for a larger air wing was deemed to be higher.
