MeJacksonT....your claim that one German aircraft carrier would have defeated Britain and the RAF is rubbish despite your pretense that history supports you. My father was an RAF/RCAF spitfire and Mosquito pilot during the B of B and saw that despite horrendous losses, the RAF was never even close to being depleted. One aircraft carrier would have had to be close enough to Britain to become a prize target for the RN, which dominated the entire North Sea and the Atlantic coastal area. That aircraft carrier would have been history had the Nazis tried to get near enough to make a difference. They didn't need an aircraft carrier, they had bases all along the French coast and were able to threaten Britain very well, thank you. Now had they succeeded in destroying the British radar stations on the east coast, then things might have come out differently. By the way, It "layed" in the Baltic sea should read, it "lay or laid" in the Baltic sea. Admittedly it was a close run thing but the Brits weren't alone as the commonwealth and other Allied airmen were there to replace Britians's losses, including with equipment and planes as needed. The Brits even tried out American fighters later in the war.
