  1. The problem for the Royal Navy was that aircraft and aircraft design was put in the hands of the Royal Air Force. Which meant that their requirements were not properly catered for. Though they did get control back they were having to play catch-up during WW2. The German Kriegsmarine in WW2 had the same problem in that the aircraft they wanted for their carrier but Herman Goring refused to let them have any. I once read an autobiography of a Royal Air Force pilot who served between the wars. It was suddenly decided that RAF pilots should learn to fly from carriers. It was not a decision welcomed by the RAF pilots, as you can imagine.
