Electromag launch paired with a ski-jump..?

that seems counterintuitive to me.

Lots of copy catting. They didn’t steal our designs, did they? ;>)

They still have a little problem of the catapult lacking the power to chuck a loaded plane off the deck.

They can threaten people with their stuff, though.

““It has been suggested that they look to Britain’s warship, the HMS Queen Elizabeth, which has two small tower islands on the deck. “

LOL... yes. When you need engineering solutions and aircraft carrier expertise, you think “Britain”.

Who the hell wrote this? After a few good WWII inventions, they are nowhere. Their last conventional carrier went away in 1979 almost 40 years ago.
I’m guessing they are paying much more attention to USN designs.

You would think that they would want to get the first one functional first. They still haven’t got the turkey they bought from Russia operational yet.

All the while the US Navy seems to have lost the skills necessary, to steer a ship.
