The Type 2 and 3 will be EMALS - no wire. Vertical takeoff planes like the F-35C (?) cannot carry as much ordnance as catapult or EMALS plane can, plus decks need special plate to take the heat adding topside weight which limits the CVN in other respects

From what I have read the EMAL is only used for launch, not recovery. If Chi a will use standard T&L aircraft they will still need pilots trained in wire landings and deck crew trained in landing procedure.
