If you're that into carrier ops, Harpoon is probably the best way to go. Carrier stuff beyond something very simple doesn't play well in DW. There's a lot more to aircraft carriers than just the ship themselves. They're really the centerpiece for a whole fleet of warships and because of that the captain of the aircraft carrier is really just a tiny piece of things. He really just drives the ship, the
fight is really controlled by someone above him. The commander air group (CAG), for example, controls the air wing, but he's not UNDER the captain of the aircraft carrier. Hence, the captain of the carrier, giving rudder orders doesn't decide when to launch aircraft or when not to. That's the responsibility of someone above both him and the CAG, who coordinates the air and sea operations as a unified whole. As a result, I don't think carriers would play well in DW which is best for one-on-one or small groups of warships. By the time you get into fighting aircraft carriers you're into some pretty substantial scale fleet tactics, where a single engagement might be better as a DW scenario.
I've come to think of CVs, gators and CLF ships, as basically just targets in a DW scenario because their offensive power is on an operational scale. They might motivate a scenario and provide the underlying logic for what's going on, but in themselves, they don't typically add a lot of combat power. That's more for destroyers, cruisers, MPA, helos and submarines to add on the scale DW is concerned with. Aircraft carriers, amphibs and logistics are a step or two above what's going on. Aboard a carrier or large-deck gator there's a whole staff of planners and what not concerned with things are are totally abstract to a DW scenario.
