Are World War 2 battleships longer than World War 2 carriers?

The simple answer is: Yes.

Note that really there is only one class of battleship designed and build during WW2: the United States' Iowa class. All the rest of the battleships used by world powers were designed and built prior to the war (though several were finished during 1939-1940). However, the majority of aircraft carriers were designed and built during the war.

For the most part, pre-war "fleet" aircraft carriers were built on hulls about the same size as a large cruiser or battlecruiser (indeed, most of them were converted from such a ship sometime during their original construction process). As such, they were slightly smaller than contemporary battleships, both in size and in weight.

Comparing the primary aircraft carrier and battleship classes built during the actual war, you have:

Essex-class carrier:

Length: 820 ft (waterline), 872 ft (overall)

Beam: 93 ft (waterline), 147 ft (overall)

Draft: 34 ft full load

Displacement: 36,000 tons full load

Iowa-class battleship:

Length: 861 ft (waterline), 890 ft (overall)

Beam: 108 ft (both waterline and overall)

Draft: 36 ft full load

Displacement: 58,000 tons full load

The one-off IJN Shinano was built on the not-completed hull of a 3rd Yamato-class superbattleship. It was sunk by the USS Archerfish in Japanese home waters before final construction was completed. It was slightly larger than the Essex class, but displaced over twice as much.

Note, only the US and Japan built any notable number of large aircraft carriers during the war, and the US was the only power to build whole new battleships (though both Britain and Japan finished several under construction when the war began).
