Could Sweden operate a Baltic light carrier?

Gotland and Sweden's existing aviation infrastructure make a Baltic light carrier plausible without fixing its design, air group, or role.

Question

Would Sweden lack the resources or need to operate a light carrier in the Baltic?

Short answer

Not necessarily; Gotland and Sweden's existing infrastructure make a light carrier plausible in this scenario.

Notes

The Swedish aviation cruiser Gotland shows an existing interest in shipborne aircraft. Sweden also had enough supporting infrastructure to make a Baltic light carrier plausible without fixing its design, air group, or operational doctrine.
