How an early carrier could have changed Italian naval aviation

How could operating a carrier in the 1920s have changed Italian naval aviation?

It would have forced earlier decisions about doctrine and service control and given aircraft manufacturers a carrier air group to supply.

Operating a carrier would have given Italy a practical reason to develop naval aviation doctrine during the 1920s. The Italian air force would probably have disputed control of its aircraft, but an early start would have allowed time to settle that conflict. Short production runs of capable Italian aircraft could have suited a single carrier's requirements. Problems with mass production, service life, and spare parts would still have limited their operational usefulness.
