John,
     FT is however, a game full "o'booms".   (An quite a few belong
to me.)
     I am going to assume the CVE in question is a very small 
standard ship and not a civilian hull!

Quick conversion:
1) Take one NAC CL and one Wings and things pack.
2) File the CL flat on the side without the bit that sticks out.
3) File the square (ish) structure piece and the short narrow
   wing from the W+T pack flat on the mounting side.
4) Super glue the square structure long edge to the CL side at
   the rear of the CL. (align the top edge with the CL top.) 
5) Super glue the short narrow wing in front of the structure
   piece at the top of the CL and in contact with structure.
6 Optional: An additional square platform/door piece can be
  superglued to the bottom of the structure and CL for 
  a small flight deck.	(This can be accomplished with paint
  if you are so inclined.)

    The mass would be 26 to 30 with one or two fighters on the 
ship.	
     I have not put this together as yet, I only thought of it
last night.

     If anyone would like to see an SSD for the ship (as mass 28)
I will be more than happy to send it to all who ask.

Bye for now,
