As others have mentioned, Graf Zeppelin herself was completed, but delays on her aircraft meant that she spent most of her time in port and by the time her aircraft were almost ready they had already stripped her of her equipment and guns and changes to the aircraft meant that some of the aircraft handling equipment was outdated. Kriegsmarine ships recieved their names upon completion, the fact that she actually has a name unlike her sister ship means that she was already launched and ready.

For her aircraft we already have the carrier Stuka in the game, and she would likely come with other 30's-era aircraft such as the carrier version of the BF109 and the Fi167. Historically the BF109 was in the same generation as the type 96 fighter though, although it's performance was overall closer to the zero fighters so overall not great. Her later remodels could either have skilled air groups or could have the prototype Me-155, or could have some hypothetical navalised versions of other aircraft. They could even round out her equipment set with some other bits of kit such as radars or AA guns.
