More carrier scouts constrain surface raiders

The proposed carrier force reduces the sea room available to ships such as Admiral Graf Spee and Deutschland. Pairs of scout carriers in the South Atlantic, Indian Ocean, and North Atlantic would expand the area searched by aircraft before cruisers made contact. Torpedo aircraft could attack repeatedly to slow a raider and maintain its position until surface forces arrived. The carrier thus becomes a reconnaissance and disabling partner for the cruiser force rather than a replacement for it.
