US didn't really have any learning issues during ww2 as they did fairly extensive prewar testing & design workups. The main thing lacking that they experienced during the war was non-armored flight decks. They even went with the escourt carriers knowing of their limited capabilities just to inscrease the rate at which they could produce floating airports.
Subdivided flight deck, CO2 use, elevator placement. Angled flight decks after the war. Probably lots of other design detail stuff that doesn't get mentioned.
