The rebuild variations these 2 classes of cvls went thru, for different new owners was quite interesting, too. All did get angled flight decks, but AFAIK the Douglas Skyhawk was the best jet that could be deployed from any of them. Numerous different helos and USN S2F Trackers also graced the flight decks of some.
Here is the Dutch K. Doorman, and later as the Argentine 25 de Mayo in B+W. DFO

That was a good shot once I was able to discern which ship was which , and where one overlapped the other
