Auto Credit Based on Dumpworks's Messerschmitt Me-262 A-1a "Schwalbe"
Germany had many ambitions for thier Navy one such ambition was an aircraft carrier which they called the "Graf Zeppelin", though it was never built many aircraft in service with luftwaffe were being converted to function on aircraft carrier, the Me-262 was also being navalized, the "Eisvogel" had it's cockpit moved into the nose so carrier landings were easier, it also had a single rocket motor in the tail to give a shorter take-off run, but it's armament was reduced from 4 30mms to 2 30mm, but with Germnays decaying condition any kind of naval project was a waste (activator 1 for rocket engine)

the graf zepelin was build but the head of the luftwaffe and the head of the kriegsmarine had infighting because germany didnt had dedicatet navy pilots at the time and the luftwaffe was in charge of any plane for such a ship. or with other words: dönitz the head of the kriegsmarine and göring the head of the luftwaffe were fighting about the use of an carrier and göring used his leverage to render the graf zeppelin useles.
