Make sure you don't have a ship being built that will be placed in the fleet as that prevents overhauls

I have 68 MF at the moment, which should be enough for all my overhauls. However I have a lot of ships in orbit at the moment - are the MFs considered in use if there are ships to maintain? NB I've been able to overhaul my smaller missile cruisers and escorts without a problem.

I have a line of light carriers (23k tonnage) I've been training up. I'm trying to overhaul them now and I'm getting:
{carrier} "cannot continue wth her overhaul as there is no maintenance facility of sufficient size"
I have 3 shipyards free, 39k tonnage, even tooled for the CVLs. So why can't I get an overhaul to work?
