I noticed that there was a discussion on that thread about the Russians resurrecting the GZ and using it for awhile. I didn't make it through the end of the topic, and I think that part was dropped, but I think that was actually the Seydlitz. If I remember right, it was a sister to the Lutzow that early after the war started, it was changed and 90% completed as a carrier before the materials ran out in 1943.

When you consider what the Allies had by the end of the war, there is no way the Germans could contend with the shear numbers. I think the US had over 100 carriers of 8 different classes, losing 11 carriers during the war. The Japanese lost 23 carriers, and the British lost 9. As for an argument about the capabilities of the British carrier aircraft, the Seafire was a capable aircraft other than being too fragile to handle carrier landings. And after the US started supplying carrier aircraft, they had the ability to handle the 109s.
