It would have to be shallower water than 200 feet for
the flight deck to be above water.

The Saratoga at Bikini is probably somewhat similar in
height and here is a quote from the Bikini Atoll web
site:

"Commissioned in 1927, an American aircraft carrier
880 feet in length and weighs 39,000 tons, it rests in
Bikini's lagoon at a depth of 190 feet. Her bridge is
easily accessible at 40 feet, her deck at 90 feet, and
the hanger for the Helldivers at 125 feet. "
