Ok, I stay with the carriers. Do you mean the great lakes paddlewheel steamers, that were converted and used for carrier landing training in WWII, Sable and Wolverine ? They never went to sea (the great lakes having the size but not the salt) and where the last paddle wheeled warships, they had a landing deck but no hangars and burned coal.
Concerning the turboelectric drives, they basically were the grandparents of all nuclear powered vessel in existance but AFAIK those two ships were the last turboelectric carriers ever build, the other carriers up unitl Enterprise all had conventional geared turbines powerd by oilfueled boilers.
Concerning my question: Yes, Oslo Fjord is part of the north sea. Since I guess you already know the correct answer I would like to give another hint for the others about the person after which the ships were named: It is (wrongly) said that he once entrusted to a peer that he feared that he had been made pregnant by a frenchman (Source: Guinness book of military blunders). I give kudos if you know what kind of animal the frenchman was
(evil grin).
