Would Zahringen and or Hessen have been useful conversions to aircraft carriers .
I'm thinking the equivalent of USS Wolverine and Sable . Purely as training / trials carriers so Germans could gain experience in Naval aviation .
I'm thinking little or no hangar and large overhangs at each end
stationed in some sa fish backwater, maybe the Baltic initially .
something nasty would probably have to happen to Goering pre war to get to this point and they'd probably end up being used to evacuate Germans from clutches of the Red Army if they survived Russian submarines or as aircraft ferry in very desperate circumstances
