They were later classified as battlecruisers. But they were still weak as battlecruisers.

Britian definately misused its Battlecruisers indeed. The german ones were designed to take part in the line of battle, while british ones were not. And we all know the results of good/misuse that these navies did.

In exchange for small airwings, the British carriers were much tougher and were better at taking hits from bombs. It was a choice in design.
