It would, but maybe it's just me, but I would think they would want to come up with a more capable plane....maybe...
If they pay for it, they can do whatever they want too....
Of course this is all just speculation. I kinda doubt the Navy would want ANY of our CVNs going to anyone once they are done.
Nuke carriers? I agree. No way do they get transfered to another Navy. There is precident for non-nuke carriers: The USS Bonhomme Richard, a WW2 Carrier, was 'leased' to the French Navy during their Indochina adventure in the '50's. In fact, most of the aircraft were American-built (Avengers, Corsairs, and either Hellcats or Bearcats). I think the French had the last operational Chance-Vought Crusaders too (well into the '80's).
OTOH, the French would never go for such an arrangement today. Anything American is, by definition, bad.
