The main obstacle here would be political - as in the entire US Air Force would turn purple, swallow their tongues and fight any carrier or battleship refit with all their might. Still, depending on how many allies the Navy has in Congress it might be doable.
(I'd say purpose would be another obstacle, but the American military-industrial complex doesn't worry about such piddling mortal things as 'purpose.')
As for the Mikasa... I can't see it. That one really is a museum ship, it'd be like waving the USS Constitution and taking it to space.
