Converting a Kongo-class hull into an aircraft carrier

Could Kongo-class hulls serve as the basis for four carrier conversions?

A conversion is technically possible, but it requires stripping armour, rebuilding the upper works, and rerouting the central exhaust at great cost.

A Kongo-class hull could support a carrier conversion if the builders accepted a radical reconstruction. Deck and side armour would be stripped away before adding the hangar, flight deck, and new superstructure. The machinery's central exhaust trunks would also need to be diverted to side uptakes. HMS Furious supplies the warning against allowing the exhaust arrangement to interfere with the hangar. The conversion is considered possible, but expensive.
