Thats not really the most helpful description of your items to work out scale.

you have stated your 'carrier' sizes but what scale is it? it would be prudent to make the aircraft the same scale as the boat.

your next issue is that you haven't stated what aircraft to want to use, so that is no help in working out scale either!

anything 1m long could be any thing in full size with out knowing your original 'scale' of the craft we can't help!.

i have pm you a scale chart, you can work it out for your self.
