Question

Would Germany build more Graf Zeppelin-type carriers?

Short answer

Further carriers are plausible, but H-39 construction competes for the yard capacity they would need.

Notes

The proposed carrier programme cannot be considered separately from battleship work. An intention to build sisters does not determine how many can be completed by 1942.
