Er not to be a downer but the first aircraft carrier and the first purpose designed thing is blatent bullshit, the HMS Argus was the first conversion and the HMS Hermes was the first purpose built, it was even launched two months before construction on Houshou even started. The fact that Houshou was commision first is semantics as both RN ships were still actual ships floating on the water being aircraft carriers even if they hadn't been offically recieved.
