Britain had no spare carriers to reinforce Midway

Could Britain have loaned carriers to Nimitz for the Battle of Midway?

The idea made sense from the American perspective, but Royal Navy carriers were already committed and could not readily be sent.

The proposal looked more feasible from the United States perspective than from Britain's. Royal Navy carriers were already committed, so American need did not create spare British ships. Nimitz asked, but Britain could not readily send them. Later American modifications to HMS Victorious show that integration was possible while also illustrating the problems created by trying to Americanise a British carrier.
