Jump in, launch your fighters, jump back out at the first sign of trouble. Your speed will never be tactically relevant.
There is even simplier and much more affordable way:
Carriers do not jump, they carry 1 or 2 fighter-grade tenders, and their wings use those fighter-grade tenders to jump in and jump out.
There is no need to cram huge jump engines to your carriers with this tactics.
