I wouldn't bet on it. Gibraltar will be an ideal forward operating base and I know studies are underway now about using the South Mole. Many many moons ago I remember see three carriers docked there.

Talking to the locals it is largely a matter of dredging as this hasn't been done for many years. The last ship I went on that couldn't dock there was the Canberra.

Using Gib saves a three day transit, and could be at Suez in just over 4 days. It could even attack Taranto on the way. 🤣🤔
