No, the issue was your earlier claim:
"We are flying Harriers off the JFK now. Probably part of a Marine Aircraft Wing."
Which is incorrect. Whether or not Harriers could be successfully operated from a CV or CVN was answered in '76-'77 when VMA-231 deployed aboard the USS Franklin D. Roosevelt as part of CVW-19 for a Med cruise.
I was refering to Hunter's statement that the JFK hosted VTOL aircraft. If that is incorrect, so be it. The point is that NATO can use the JFK platform with its existing VTOL aircraft. That is the issue.
