Plan Z

[Paul Lakowski]

Questions.

Displacement? A fleet carrier needs to be a certain size to support a tactically effective air wing.

Aircraft? The Germans weren't that good at adapting aircraft to different purposes; see the huge troubles with making the FW 400 a bomber.

Screening? Submariners in WW2 had a name for unescorted large displacement ships: Targets.

Well they did as well as the next one, and studies of U-Boats vs MV showed that when the ship speed approaches 20 knots , the U-Boat intercept chance plummets.
