Ok, the below screenshot should show that escort carriers, so far the Holy Grail of HOI2, are easily accomplished:

I have no time today, but I belive that putting CAGS on new version Transports will solve the Escort Carrier issue. It's historical that the equipment aboard the Escorts was on par with that carried by the fleet CV's, that is... every ship in the us fleet that could field newer Corsairs... did so. It's also historical that CVE's rarely went around alone. Four CVE's could field the same strike as a fleet CV. It's also possible that small Cag's can be created, and only flown by the CVE's, as well as the BBv's Ise and Hyuga. I'll work on this.
BTW: As a footnote, though I haven't explored the executables yet, I'm not entirely convinced that we are limited to research and unit trees as given. If anyone can show otherwise... I'd appreciate it, and it may save me time.
