A Dutch carrier and German naval-aviation learning

Could the Netherlands have acquired capital ships and an aircraft carrier before the war?

A carrier was possible only with a much earlier start, but it might also have influenced German carrier development.

A useful Dutch carrier would require a decision roughly a decade earlier, not a rushed 1939 purchase. That lead time would be needed not only to build the ship but also to establish aircraft, crews, and operating practice. If such a carrier existed, German firms embedded in the Netherlands might carry practical carrier knowledge home through their close industrial presence. Dutch experience could provide Germany with a more useful model than French operations constrained by the slow and limited Béarn, potentially influencing Graf Zeppelin's development.
