Right, but one custom bay for one 20t gig or two 10t fighters will take up the same volume.
In game terms "refitting" a ship to carry different small craft consists merely of designating what craft the bays are designed to take.
Hi
I guess the over arching thought for me is first that I believe that the original CT rules did not initially specifically address fighters at all. As such, if trying to convert a conventional merchant ship to a small fighter then there might be some additional stuff to consider that the rules might not directly cover.
With regards to this, I think Book 0 ("An Intro to Traveller (?)) suggests something along the lines that adapting the rules to try and cover stuff not directly addressed is encouraged but when trying to do so try to keep in mind how changes effect other parts of the game. So I suspect it would make sense to try and think things through and figure out what might realistically (within the terms of the game) be needed rather than sticking solely to the concept that since the rules don't say you can't do this or that since the rules don't suggest that you need anything additional, then nothing is needed.
As several others have already noted, maybe you should consider the need for a weapons magazine, etc. In addition, you probably maybe also should consider the need for spare parts and machine shops to assist in repairing any battle damage and the like, plus you probably would also need additional crew/maintainers for the craft.
Also as others have noted, in CT I believe that for most conventional merchant ships deck heights are assumed to be about 3m, and if you consider "Snapshot' to be part of CT I believe that clear deck height may be even lower - about 2.5m or so - to account for structure and services, etc, which may greatly limit the type of craft that you might be able to carry in a hold.
Additionally, there is also issues such as possible limited life support availability on a fighter (especially if you consider a fighter to be somewhat similar to the Rampart fighters from "Azhanti High Lightning". In such a case, I'd suspect that after spending several hours deployed in a fighter, the pilot will probably need some down time back onboard the mother ship to rest, eat, and such.
Finally, there are other small issues like whether the mother "carrier" will also need any additional electronics or sensors and the like to try and help the ship better coordinate with its fighters while in combat.
Anyway, just some additional thoughts

Pat

CT '81 had fighters. So did TTB and ST. 10Td each. No limit on how many, other than available tonnage for fighters and crew. I don't know about CT '79, as I've never gotten my hands upon it. It didn't have any carriers... but, a 2000Td "carrier" could look like:

I guess it could be more difficult than just that. I guess the small crafts hangars are a solid structure on the ships, capable to have independent presuritzation/depresuritzation to better allow the craft to be launched, so, to modify them to carry different craft would be major refits, as I guess they must tamper with hull-like walls.
A 20 dton craft (280 cubic meters) may have many shapes. It is quite difficult to fill the same shape/volume with two 10 dton (140 cubic meters) crafts, even if the volume is the same.
Even if the crafts are caried externally (e.g. Gazelle's gig), problems with clamps and connecting airlocks will preclude to replace that 20 dton gig by 2 10 dton fighters.
In Assignment Vigilante (MT) apears a portrait of a Unity of Promise Gazelle that carries a Rampant fighter instead of the gig, but only one, hinting that there's no place (while perhaps there would be space) for a seccond, even if the Rampant is 10 dton and the gig is 20 dton.

my simplest solution thought would be to say .... sure you can put 5 fighters in but it needs major rebuilding to change the ship enough to launch / recover more than 1 per action
my more detail oriented thoughts would add complexities for the situation eg limited rearming outside a spaceport, no accel during launch (or penalties for every g), penalties during recovery and of course dont forget captain you now have 5 small boat pilots needing beds not just the one

If you use a 100tn weapon bay for carrying a small craft, the biggest small craft possible is 50ton. (HG pg 30). Using this rule of thumb a 20ton hanger could fit a single 10 ton fighter.
Changing hanger configurations should come under the Refitting Ships section of TCS (p34).
Its a bit like deciding as captain you don't need a double stateroom as the wife & kids no longer travel with you. Changing it to two staterooms is no problem, but it requires some work and will cost some credits.
TCS indicates for "Minor" refits it costs 1.1 x component costs and 1/10th of the ships construction time. As a GM I would consider in both cases (changing stateroom and hanger configurations) the cost is sound and would likely determine 2-3 weeks (GM fiat) for the alterations, depending on the scale desired.
Arguably changing hanger configuration is the more difficult operation. If fuel tankage can be displaced to accommodate the new shape, that would be the cheapest option. If upper or lower deck passages, staterooms or cargo space needs displacing, it becomes more of a challenge to accommodate the new craft and retain the functionality of the existing spaces.
Other options may exists, such as having the craft dock on its side, back to front or upside-down in order to direct the needed refit into the area that will cause the least problems.
I guess summing this up, what I am suggesting is that changing what you are able to carry should not be instantaneous and free.

The original 3 book set had no mention of fighters. The first mention of fighters I'm aware of was in High guard. I'm not sure if they were in the first edition, I haven't picked up one of those yet.
Considering most small craft hangars neet to have 'airlock capability' (being capable of independent presurization/depresurization) I guess it would be more like having a submarine change the size of its torpedo (or missiles) tubes to fit diferent sized ones.
I'm not an expert in ship refitting (more true, I have no idea about it), but I think to have readed that its more usual to adapt new torpedoes/missiles to existing submarine tubes than to refit the submarine tubes to fit new torpedoes/missiles (even more than usually, I can be wrong in that).

It is '77 
y'r right... 77. Brain cramp. there used to be a thread showing the differences from printing to printing in he 77-79 era... from 81 on, there is one stable edition of LBB...
But it made for some interesting discussions in groups with different age/printing LBB's
Ohhhh, things you miss when you're working 70+ hours a week. I love the concept of the mini-carrier, they're ideal for adventures.

The humble escort carrier is an often overlooked member of the Imperial Navy, but nonetheless it is probably one of the most useful vessels at the Emperor's disposal. Its modest costs coupled with the flexibility granted by its fighters give it range of options available to virtually no other type of vessel.
The escort carrier concept was developed by Cleon Zhunastu (later Emperor Cleon I) in the final years of the Sylean Federation. Initially intended as an answer to the endemic piracy that afflicted the fringes of the Federation, the type rapidly proved to be one of the most versatile in the fleet.
The Vindex class is a fairly typical example of the type. Designed during the later stages of the Civil War, it first found popularity amongst planetary navies and corporate interests seeking to find a cost effective supplement for reduced Imperial Navy patrols. The class has also proved to be extremely flexible, often used to provide orbital and air support for minor troop deployments.
The class can carry any standard 30 Td small craft in its eight external grapples, but most often carries a squadron of Puffin patrol fighters. These are supplemented by two 20 Td lifeboats that can double as barges to shuttle personnel or supplies to the surface. The ship carries a squad of marines, allowing light strike and commando operations.
Particular attention is paid in the design to habitability, with each crew member receiving a full sized stateroom; while the Commander, Squadron Leader and Marine officer receive a doublesized stateroom. The ship also has four secure staterooms that can serve as a brig for the confinement of criminals.
