There were several MAJOR convoy battles in the Med and I believe they involved either British Carriers or CVE's. There were also several Italian Battleships sunk in Toronto harbor by Swordfish from a British CV in 1940.
I couldn't agree more. In terms of air/sea/land operations covering a relatively limited area but extending over many years the MTO is probably the most important area to be covered. At present we have no battleships represented for this theatre for either side and only a single CV type, Illustrious class. Lots could be done.
--- but your comments on PTO are absolutely right. What a shame that there are no battleships represented in the IJN or USN, and there are so many important carriers missing, and cruisers (the workhorses). Even Force Z which is part represented is missing HMS Repulse.
