Graf Zeppelin needs an air group and supporting force

The final carrier example distinguishes completing Graf Zeppelin from making it useful against the imagined larger British fleet.

Notes

Germany might finish Graf Zeppelin within this hypothetical setting. Its usefulness would depend on the air group fitted and how Germany intended to employ it. The available operational group and supporting ships would also matter. Completion of the carrier alone therefore cannot establish its contribution against the larger Royal Navy imagined in the discussion.
