Quite correct. In fact it was a fairly exhaustive = expensive study. BAe did their best to make it look viable, but the reality was that there were 2 major problems: Typhoon was not designed to live in a maritime environment and in addition would require major redesign of the lower and rear fuselage structures to make it sufficiently robust for CATOBAR.
