Blohm & Voss Bv 238

Naval Bombers are carrier based and the "Blohm & Voss Bv 238" is the finest of the German Branch. However I can hardly imagine the "Blohm & Voss Bv 238" lifting of from a carrier. Has someone a picture that helps me to defeat these silly doubts?

Thanks in advance

Germany did not have any carrier aircraft during WWII. The closest they had were navalized versions of the Bf 109 and Ju 87. So most if not all (haven't played German doctrine in a long time) of the naval planes in the German tech tree are seaplanes rather than carrier planes.

Well designers have a huge problem about naval bombers... because, what plane actually is it? Is it the small, fast torpedo or dive bomber a la Kate, Dauntless, Swordfish? Or is it the big, long-range seaplane/scout plane/bomber like the Condor or Catalina? Since they can operate from carriers one would assume the former, but many of the actual models in the various tech trees are the latter.
