Japanese carrier doctrine in the Mediterranean

Would US or Japanese carrier doctrine have worked poorly in the Mediterranean, and why?

Japanese carrier doctrine was not simply bad, but its strike-heavy, maneuver-space assumptions were poorly matched to Mediterranean land-based air pressure.

Japanese carrier doctrine emphasized strike power and room to maneuver, while Mediterranean operations exposed carriers to dense land-based air attack and demanded more security from fighter control and radar. British carrier doctrine adapted differently because the Royal Navy faced another geostrategic environment.
