She'll be a lot more useful if a fourth slot exsists, though I highly doubt that would happen anywhere soon. I'm more in favor that the catapult was for Intrepid, since she's got a deck overhaul after the war and it certainly makes more sense that way. The devs already boosted Gambier Bays status if we're taking history into account. The Casablanca class only had 28 planes while the devs made it to 34, while the other status were pretty close to what the Casablanca class were credited to back in those days. It's actually quite hard to reenact the usefulness of the Casablanca class CVEs in this game if she's the only one ship we've got, since none of the tactics this particular CVE used in real life could be simulated too well into the game. They'll be useful if they can gang up together and use their numbers as an advantage to fend off enemies. But looking back at the games history, I doubt the devs are willing to let us stuff six CVEs into a transport convoy and have a easy life.
