Ignoring the political, economic, and strategic issues around the matter,
what would have been the technical problems involved in launching V-1s

from
a completed CV Graf Zeppelin?


Mostly keeping the ship afloat, the RN and RAF would make a
maximum effort against such a target.

I assume one would be limited to city-sized targets; would the sort of
catapult fitted to GZ have been capable of hefting a V-1 into the air?


It wouldnt need one, the ship was large enough to mount a
launching ramp on.

Of course it wouldnt have been able to hit anything worth a
damm unless very well stabilised.
