Why British armored carriers did not operate jets during the war

Did Britain operate its first-generation jet aircraft from armored carriers during the Second World War?

No. The jets existed, but carrier landing capability and saltwater durability were not ready until after the war.

The existence of jet aircraft did not make them ready for naval service. Britain operated early jets during the Second World War, but those aircraft did not deploy aboard armored carriers. Engineers still had to make the airframes and systems suitable for carrier landings. They also needed reliable operation in the corrosive saltwater environment close to the sea, pushing practical carrier jet use into the postwar period.
