Why the de Havilland Mosquito was difficult to navalize

Was the de Havilland Mosquito considered for carrier service?

Yes, but navalizing and maintaining it imposed too many compromises for a useful wartime carrier aircraft.

The Mosquito's performance made carrier use tempting, and its rough-field qualities suggested that deck landings were not absurd. The practical obstacles were fitting folding wings, carrier lifts, and hangars while preserving the aircraft's useful characteristics. Its wooden construction also demanded repair space and work that were awkward aboard a carrier. By the time the Royal Navy had ships large enough to ease those constraints, other aircraft offered a more practical route.
