Submarine Aircraft Carriers During World War Two

During world war too, the japanese operated at least a couple of submarine aircraft carriers. The entire point of an aircraft carrier is power projection, massive power projection. It's intimidation more than actual warfare. You send an aircraft carrier near a nation, iti if that nation is not a super power, it's going to scare that nation. That's what the americans and the british tried in 19 71 when they sent one aircraft carrier each into the bay of bengal yes.
