There are plenty of things in the WW2 Arsenal that don't deserve their bad reputation (Brewster Buffalo, M4 Sherman). The Casablanca class is not one of them. They were deathtraps with no armor and the US Navy hated them and refused to order them until Kaiser appealed directly to the White House. The crews of the Taffy 3 CVEs did an amazing job despite the ships limitations, not because of them. Even then, if anyone in Kurita's fleet had decided to load HE, the battle would have been a bloodbath.

As I said, I'll take anything the Devs give us, but CVEs are at the very bottom of a long list of USN ships I'd like to see in game. That's not to say they won't be useful. TBFs and FM-2s alone are enough to make them desirable. Don't expect an armor stat above 30 though.
