What put the CV above BB was the development of the monoplane torpedo
and especially the dive bomber, whose IMHO reach the full maturity ~1944..

It was the plunging shell or bomb on the deck that did them in. (or a
cunning, shell -made- into -a- bomb, dirty trick even!)  It was not possible
to armour the deck sufficiently.    True even if no aircraft ever built.
IAW it was long- range shooting post-WW1 which meant plunging fire.  For
bombs, it did occur after the aircraft developed power/strength enough to
carry a heavy bomb just pre-WW2 say.

I disagree. The torpedo has always been the worst aerial enemy of
even the biggest ships.
