Would turboprops or the Flying Pancake transform naval aviation?

Would turboprops and the Flying Pancake be useful with more development time?

They could help if made to work, but the answer is doubtful about early operational success.

The proposals are considered as separate development possibilities. The Flying Pancake's difficult development makes a prompt frontline role uncertain. Continued research could still contribute to later work without producing a useful aircraft by the opening of this war.
