Seeing as we are playing a WW2-era game, I would have thought that it is rather obvious...

I am not sure it is so obvious.  The Lexington used in the game is CV-2 which was sunk early in the war.  Most people think of CV-16 when the hear the name USS Lexington, since it was operational for about 50 years.

Incorrect.

Its not a WWII era game, its a first half of the 20th Century game.

And there are three Ark Royals during that period, as well as two Lexingtons.
