Don't forget this ship is similar in size to the Iowa and Montana designs, those were capable of 33knts or about 60kph, you only got to get up to 140 for an F6F to take off, the F4F was even slower take off speed.
The ship was designed to be close to 70 thousand tons so it is larger than you think plus late war aircraft with small payloads had short-ish takeoffs and arrestor cables were in use already for landing
That is because no battlecarrier was made ground up as one, that is the difference between a conversion and a dedicated one. The idea is a carrier that can conduct direct assault on other ships and bombard land targets as well as offering a decent airwing.
The flight deck on the battlecarrier seems too short for ww2 aircraft to use it
hell cat had a short take off as long as it wasn't carrying anything to heavy.

There was plenty of naval aircraft that could use that.
The flight decks would actually extend out over the gun turrets to make it longer

I hate USS Kearsarge, I actually hate the battlecarrier concept, everyone thinks they existed. They were explored but they never existed.
Ise and Hyuga don’t mean shit then
@@timber_wulf5775 thats right. Not the kind if ships everyone thinks they are.
