Personally I would have scrapped them and built carriers like the USA did with the Essex Class.

Hi Antoni,

I believe the Japanese did just that with the 3rd ship in class called the Shinano it was slated to be a Battleship as well but seeing the need for carriers they built it as a carrier instead, I think it was their largest somewhere I have a book that tells the story of the U.S. sub that stalked and sunk it but I can't remeber the name of it
