Well, the battleship was certainly a force to be considered in the ETO. Consider the efforts the British put into eliminating the Bismark, Gneisenau, Tirpitz and Graf Spee. Carriers in the ETO were primarily used against U-boats (mostly "jeep" or escort carriers) or in the Mediterranean, although Swordfish torpedo bombers from the Ark Royal did incapacitate the Bismark, allowing British battleships and cruisers to sink her.
