| The Germans had a few powerful ships, but they didn't really have a significant surface fleet compared to the British or Americans.
I can see that aircraft carriers might have been some use in the Baltic, but otherwise what mission could they have been used for where they needed to project airpower at sea?
If they had been used in the Atlantic for raiding convoys, I think that they would have fallen prey to land based aircraft in the later stages of the war, even apart from allied carriers.
