Will that mean adding an angled deck?
The area of the deck would allow for an angled deck without too much modification (in terms of deck area). Catapults and arrestor gear are another matter - the ship was designed for them, and voids existed in the hull for them, but word is those got 'filled up' once the initial decision to go STOVL was made (Hence the extortionate costs given to convert PoW to CATOBAR post2010 SDR)
The idea of a catapult on the bow alongside the Ski ramp is an interesting one
