An old CO of mine in the Navy served at the end of the war in a Sea Mosquito squadron. They worked up in preparation for going to sea until one day someone told them the squadron was to be disbanded. Apart from a trial deck-landing (the first British twin-engined DL), the aircraft never went to sea as a front line squadron.
The reason, he was told many years later, was that although careful measurements had shown that a folded aircraft would in theory fit down the lift, nobody had taken into account the fact that the props (four-bladed) would not, however they were rotated. Whether this was true or not, I don't know.
