A simpler design path for Graf Zeppelin

What if Graf Zeppelin had taken more design influence from Lexington or Soryu rather than Bearn?

She would likely be simpler and more buildable, but German pressure for heavy surface armament could still reintroduce serious complexity and top-weight problems.

Graf Zeppelin suffered from too many competing design ideas and requirements. A carrier influenced more directly by Lexington or Soryu would be easier to build and better suited to North Atlantic work, even though no carrier was ideal for the Baltic concept imagined for her. German designers might still add oversized surface armament, perhaps even triple 11-inch turrets, creating top-weight and layout problems. Simplifying a wartime design reduces the number of novel systems that can delay construction or complicate combat repair.
