Keep in mind that as a general thing, CVEs were CVLs built on a budget (less armor, slower engines, but had comparible dimensions, displacement and capacity) and demonstrated more than once that they could put up a decent fight.

Their biggest detrement was that they were slow, and really could not keep up with general fleet operations...but that was also their greatest strength, because it meant that they were easier and cheaper to produce and could step in as needed.

The way I see it, if we do get a CVE, it will be pretty much like Taiyou; a CVL with mediocre stats and plane capacity (such as Shouhou or Houshou...you know, CVLs that are objectivly inferior to other CVLs), but benefit from the fact it will have an ASW stat and can thus be used in Transport Combined Fleets.
