Even when they do figure out how to conduct flight operations they will still be very limited. A deck that small doesn’t allow for a very high sortie rate. You can either perform self protection or a very small strike.

This is interesting, but there is a brutal learning curve and an experience level that will be nearly impossible for them to duplicate (or even come close) to the USN Carrier effectiveness.

Ding Ding Ding, we have a winner!

We've been flying from ships for a hundred years, you can't gain that experience in a year or 2.
