The best wartime role for three Bearn carriers

How should a Free French group of three Bearn-class carriers be deployed?

Use them for convoy escort and reconnaissance in the North Atlantic, freeing better carriers for other duties; the Indian Ocean is a secondary option.

The hypothetical requires three Bearn copies to operate together as a Free French carrier group. A North Atlantic escort assignment would use their aircraft for reconnaissance and patrol. That work could release other carriers for duties elsewhere. The Indian Ocean offers another possible assignment, while the Mediterranean receives a more cautious assessment. The recommendation depends on the imposed requirement to keep all three ships together.
