Now we are addressing the question.
So that begs the question, why don't all modern recent carriers have a 1/4 round leading edge?
Additionally, many WW2 and pre War carriers were adaptations of cruisers and battle ships, which had basically a flat flight deck extended above the main superstructure, allowing IMO significant air to flow under the flight deck and not redirect significant wake airflow onto the deck, so they likely weren't faced with the issue i am originally asking about.
Interesting about the one engine concern, which only makes sense.
