Pretty much. But I was just replying to the question about Allied carriers against Germany.

In the med too, my take on the sinking of HMS EAGLE during PEDESTAL:

While British captain Frederick John Walker created the hunter/killer group, once the United States got into the game these groups always had an 'escort carrier' with them.

The destroyer I served on, USS Brinkley Bass, was named for Harry Brinkley Bass, a navy F6F Hellcat pilot who was shot down by AA fire over southern France while flying off USS Kasaan Bay in 1944. Lots of carriers in the Atlantic and Med.

Cheers @reallydedpoet and @Sailor Steve for the info.

I knew we had couple aircraft carriers but wasn't aware we used them against Germany and to be honest never searched neither thought in that possibility. I had the impression that UK start to use them after WWII with Germany and during the Japan. Ok I need to read a bit more of this bit of history.

@jimbuna

thanks for the link

The aircraft carrier is not in that patrol area in my installation of the game.
I've sunk the 5 ships in the north, but no carrier in the patrol area to the south.
I keep running into a group of around 6 escorts that are not escorting anything and i'm starting to think that the carrier should be with them.
