WW2 - Use of Paddle Wheel A/C Carriers

[Felix/FFDS]

During WW2, what major fighting power used paddlewheel steamer aircraft carriers?

[Woodlouse2002]

I should say America. Possibly from a converted paddle steamer?

IIRC the USN used a few paddle wheelers as training carriers on the Great Lakes.

Did a little research to refresh my memory...yep, they used two.

Wolverine and Sable were converted from side wheel steamers.

Of course, that was an easy challenge....

I was guessing.

You already know my twisted thought process anyway.

Indeed, I have huge portfolios and things all dedicated to trying to figure out how you think. Soon I'm hoping to have enough info to pre-empt your questions so I'll just be able to post an answer for you to agree to.

I only remembered because I have considered building one for radio control...very unique subjects.
