HMS Habakukk was supposed to measure up 2000′ in length, 300’ in width and carry even 200 planes, including the heavies! While construction of the same was possible on paper, the concept was axed when production of carriers started to keep pace with their demand. And the allies themselves were not desperate enough no matter how odd to try anything.
During modern times the US navy has contemplated on the construction of a modular system that was to be named Mobile Offshore Base (MOB). MOB was a multi-functional modular, self-propulsion, floating platform. In theory it could be two KILOMETERS in length. Plane capacity would effectively be infinite because it would be an air force base that floats. Once more, although possible, sanity prevailed.
