Certainly, this really was a solution.
It was just an emergency measure that wouldn't provide immediate relief.
Although, after the end of the Boi War, the Imperial Navy did everything possible in the massive demobilization wave to preserve more than 20 large carriers that had not yet reached their design life, reactivating these mothballed carriers would take a lot of time, even without considering their performance.
In theory, it would take at least half a year to bring a mothballed carrier back to active service. The first three months would mainly involve cleaning both inside and outside of the ship's hull, followed by necessary modernization upgrades at the shipyard over the next three months, with testing of major equipment and systems during this period.
However, the actual execution would certainly require more time.
