Summery, CVB is never planned because just armored deck, It was design for carry more aircraft, or heavier aircraft for long range striking, and later are jet fighters, but because heavier aricraft and jet fighter create huge force when landing, they use armoured flight deck to support them, and plus withstand more punish from emeny dive bombers, and maybe even kamikaze. Not just because "I want to have 'armoured flight deck' carrier, let design a new brand of carrier and new hull code", while UK have lot of armoured flight deck carrier and still small in displacement, and never call themself CVB because the holy "armoured flight deck".
