While wikipedia should be taken with a planet-sized grain of salt, I have researched the Graf Zeppelin, and yes, that data is correct. It was scuttled later in the war.

Compromise, they still had a carrier launched even if it wasn't used in combat.

A non-jet bomber able to be taken off from aircraft carriers is the Ju88
(wich carrys more bombs than B-17), as in its wings don't touch the sides of the CVs bridge.

Guess what!! No one cares!! Anything you have done about 500 people have did it already. You can land rearm and take off any plane in the game. Hell back in the day I landed a D3A in the cruser and took off again. Woptedo!!!!

Ditto. The no one caring part. The D3A thing I havnt tried and would probably fail at.
