Reaching? Why would the UK send CVs into the coastal waters of Germany itself? I'm talking about the Med or East Atlantic. Both the UK and Germany can send interceptors to fight each other over those waters. I'm merely saying that bombing the enemy with NAVs isn't a no-brainer option..
But expecting BCs to not only survive under such contested airspace but to also sink CVs is...after a fashion. You claimed that having air superiority from land based INTs to suppress the CAGs was key to your BCs defeating the CVs, but then when challenged on that you altered the example to make the airspace contested by INTs from both sides. If that is the case, i.e. if the CAGs are operating under a shield of friendly INT cover with neutral skies, how then are the CAGs to be neutralized so that the BCs can have their way as you posited?
Edit: I meant to add that you cannot have it both ways. If your land based INTs have enough control of the coastal airspace to reliably suppress CAGs, then you don't really need the BCs but can rely on NAVs instead. If they do not have control, then the BCs are no better off than the NAVs would have been, except that the BCs are a LOT more expensive and can easily sink.
