Nope.
Sorry, that isnt the case.
The FAA were the only people who practised night attacks, and they most certainly did intend to use them against moving ships if the opportunity occured. They just didn't need to or get the chance against KM ships.
Check out what Somerville planned to do against the Kido Butai Indian Ocean excursion.
Built nothing to counter the terribly badly designed PB's? They built cruisers, fast battleships abd carriers, hunting PB's was one of their jobs. Look at the disposition and makeup of the hunting groups in October 1940.
Cruisers could deal with the PB's, let alone the heavy ships.
Japan built TWO big carriers. The others were two old conversions and some rather iffy builds in the early 30's. And if it hadn't been for war in 39, by the time the Japanese had 6 carriers the RN would have had 11 fleets, with more building.
2:1 isnt agressive enough for you??
who is to say the germans don't train for night missions as well; after all their fleet doctrine did have a night attacks focus, it wouldn't be out of the realm for their carrier doctrine to have a similar focus to the rest of the fleet
swordfish breaking through her cap and aa is going to be very difficult in single strike numbers (ie 1 on 1 carrier matchup)
there was a lot of public discourse in the UK that showed a major concern for the pocket battleships; and even more so in France, which spurred the construction of Dunkerque and Strasbourg; whilst the UK themselves didn't actually build anything to counter them; their design flaws were not readily discernable in the 30's anyway
11 fleet carriers without the war? me thinks not, more likely the oldest slowest gals get replaced (like eagle and argus forex)
in the end (assuming the guns were deleted and she had a 40ish plane group) GZ would have three major pluses
1. very fast; so she is not going to be to intercept and can elude many potential engagements (especially since her aircraft can spot pursuit ships)
2. very heavily armored, it would take a considerable amount of munitions to sink her
3. her aircraft would be faster than the RN's carrier aircraft by a considerable amount and would act as something of a multiplier; ie an ME-109 at sea is worth x number of slower fulmars
otherwise she would still have all the downsides that most of the german fleet including but not limited to
1. dangerous gauntlet to break out into raiding areas
2. insufficent escorts in number
3. escorts limited in range
4. total lack of fleet service support
5. dangerous gauntlet to return home
it's not appalling or outrageous to say it would take 2 carriers acting in concert to sink her; she weighed 35k tonnes and was heavily armored
