Would the Norway battle resemble Cape Matapan?

Would a carrier-and-battleship action off Norway become another Cape Matapan?

It could follow a similar Royal Navy pattern, with aircraft slowing ships before surface forces close, though the forces and choices would not be identical.

Cape Matapan is a useful doctrinal analogy without implying that the battles would be identical. Matapan is unusual because events developed much as the Royal Navy had theorized a fleet action should, up to the Italians' decision to abandon damaged ships. The German force in Norway faces the same central choice between protecting a disabled unit and preserving the speed of the rest of the fleet. British night-fighting preparation and converging surface forces make that dilemma especially dangerous.
