I know i lost the desighn contest, but i kind of kept playing around and came up with this

Bunker at max displacement = 3,236 tons

Complement:
677 - 881

Cost:
£4.302 million / $17.207 million

Distribution of weights at normal displacement:
Armament: 99 tons, 0.7 %

Fuel, ammunition & stores: 2,189 tons, 14.6 %
Miscellaneous weights: 0 tons, 0.0 %

Overall survivability and seakeeping ability:
Survivability (Non-critical penetrating hits needed to sink ship):
27,216 lbs / 12,345 Kg = 586.5 x 4.5 " / 115 mm shells or 5.3 torpedoes

60 tons reserved for 40 aircraft to be stored on a single hanger deck
300 tons reserved for aviation fuel 100,000 gallon enough to provide 18 refuels for each aircraft of the 40 plane air wing.
Equiped with 1 hydralic catapult
100 tons reserved for aircraft Reloads
40 tons reserved for spare parts (its 1934 planes break alot)

looks alot better than what i originaly posted least i think it is any ideas or sujestions let me know
