What would be the point?

Carriers are terribly modeled in SH4. Not the 3d model, but the way they work. You might as well just make one playable then give it magical powers.

Air ops are absurd in Sh4. CVs spawn airplanes in flight. That's the extent of air ops. To be playable, and worth even looking at, you'd need to be able to pick the loadout, set planes to CAP or strike groups. You'd need to have it take time to refuel, rearm, warm up, and strike them on deck. You'd need to have to steam into the wind, etc, ad nauseum. None of that is possible.

You'd also need to be able to direct attacks past the 20nm horizon which is not possible.

So no, sadly it's not possible.
