Would Germany build enough escorts for its carriers?

If Germany builds carriers, does it also build more destroyers and cruisers to escort them?

Probably not; yard limits and prestige-driven priorities still leave Germany short of destroyers.

A larger carrier force does not automatically produce the balanced escort fleet it needs. The shipyards are already at capacity, and German procurement culture favors high-status major combatants. That leaves destroyer construction insufficient even though the alternate fleet's operational need for screening is greater than ever. The shortage becomes especially dangerous if the historical destroyer losses around Narvik still occur.
