speaking of the German carriers: does anyone have information on any other proposed names for carriers besides the Graf Zeppelin and the Jade/Elbe? "Peter Strasser" is obviously often claimed, but it is said that this name is in fact merely speculative.

Is it even known that the naming conventions would be "Germans that made large contributions to aviation" for the fleet carriers, and rivers for the light? Or is that speculation as well?
And how accurate are other hypothetical names, like for instance August von Parseval (possibly it should be "Parzeval" according to the era?), Manfred von Richtofen, Max Immelmann, and Erich Loewenhardt by Wargaming?

I could see a name after Mölders happening (considering the honorary fighter wing and the Bundesmarine destroyer) -- perhaps like "Oberst Mölders"?

Well, we also have Weser (ex-Seydlitz), which is sorta light carrier and was renamed after river. So, with light carriers we can be relatively certain about their naming scheme.
With fleet carriers... not so certain, because we really have only Zeppelin for sure. I'd say that Parseval is relatively accurate (barring spelling nuances). And ships named afetr Richthofen, Immelmann a bunch of other WW1 aces did, in fact, exist in Kriegsmarine — but they were seaplane tenders. Not sure if such names could be assigned to full-fledged carriers.

P.S. About Peter Strasser — from what I heard, this name either was invented by British journalists (just like "KMS" prefix for Kriegsmarine ships), or it was really considered by Germans but not formally assigned due to Flugzeugtrager B never being launched. Don't know which version is correct.
