Sure thing, but aren't we also flying Hornets off of it?

Yes, but we also fly Harriers as well.

What I'm saying is that if the Brits or NATO threw down the money for a deck that size, wouldn't logic also follow that they would try to get another type of plane to go with it?

What would be the point unless they wanted to buy aircraft off of us as well? I doubt that they would want to train their pilots and crews on the new aircraft and launching system. All they need is the seaborne platform. I have no idea what price they would be paying. We could give it to them.
