Why converting a carrier into a battleship means rebuilding the ship

A carrier-to-battleship conversion would amount to rebuilding almost everything.

Question

What would a battleship conversion of an aircraft carrier look like?

Short answer

It would require rebuilding nearly the entire ship and is rejected as impractical.

Notes

Converting an aircraft carrier into a battleship would require rebuilding virtually the entire vessel. That scale of reconstruction makes the idea impractical.
