Are you suggesting that the Germans wait until 1942 to invade? There was no "Pacific campaign" to observe going on at the time. Not until after Dec of '41. And after that the US is involved. Also in regards to "raising" the French fleet you would have to take into account training and logistics. For even if the Germans were to have the French fleet there would have to be a period of training for the ships of German crews. I seriously doubt there would have been time and trained naval personell available.
