Agreed.

Once German air supremacy would have been established, all the Navy would have done is dash out off any British harbours in reach of the Luftwaffe and run for save havens in the US. There would have been no point, apart of being stupidly heroic, to stay and be bombed to bits.

Additionally, I would say it is save to assume that if BoB had been won by the Luftwaffe, the carrier projects would have been finished and therefor the Atlantic and especially Iceland would have been no save place for any US or joined US/British efforts of establishing a foothold there.
