Excellent. I will purchase. Imagine if Japan had used the Imperial Fleet to cover Hitler’s invasion of England instead of wasting their time with the American Pacific Fleet. The British fleet, essentially a battleship navy, would have been put on the bottom of the channel and Scapa Flow.

Bullshit. The English Channel is less than 25 miles across, so aircraft carriers would have been useless and a waste of resources when there were plenty of airfields on both sides of the channel

Interesting. I just wonder if they would have made it to the English Channel (lines of supply, British air bases along the way, etc)?

Yes. Getting there could have been tough, though. A better bet would have been if the Italian and French navies hadn’t been sunk by torpedo craft or scuttled by the French sailors.
