REPLENISH AIRCRAFT: Once per game, at the beginning of the Air Return phase, choose a friendly Fighter, Dive Bomber, or Torpedo Bomber that has been destroyed and roll a die. On a 4 or higher, return the chosen Aircraft to play, based on this unit. (Your opponent doesn't lose the victory points.)
SCOUT PLANES: At the beginning of your Air Attack phase, you may choose an enemy Ship. Roll one extra attack die when making Torpedo attacks against that Ship this turn.
Scout Planes is arguably better than and stacks with ET. Probably not a first carrier pick in a carrier built but useful for smokin cruiser fleets as well. Picks a really nice historical flavor in that context, not a decisive strike unit but a valuable support one.
Operation Collar, consisting of three merchants, New Zealand Star, Clan Fraser, and Clan Forbes, was escorted by Force H. Ark Royal was the largest aircraft carrier in the Mediterranean at that time, and provided local air cover for the convoy, and during the Battle of Cape Spartivento her aircraft unsuccessfully attacked the Italian battleship Vittorio Veneto. Though a tactical draw, all three merchant ships made it safely to their destinations: New Zealand Star to Alexandria, and the other two to Malta.

Dispached on Operation Collar. HMS Ark Royal,the largest aircraft carrier in the Royal Navy, provided security for the convoy at sailed east to Malta, before turning towards Sardinia and raiding the port of calagari. This flexibility, alin with the surprise raid on taranto the next night, , foreshadowed the carrier supplanting Battleships as the most important ships in the fleet. Less than two weeks later Ark Royal's aircraft were back in action. Preventing the battleship Vittorio Venato decisively influencing the battle of sparventio

In respect to cost: with the two premium abilities and a strong Cap/Flag/Armor line, I would cost this at 24/25 points erroring on the side of caution would be 25 placing it in the same class as Enterprise, Indefatigable, Implacable, and Kaiho.
