Type 45 Destroyer - Embarked Aviation

Recently I was looking into stuff to put on the Sea Jet thread, and found myself looking into things about the Type 45 Destroyer. Apart from the fact that the T45 is delayed, and has had the capabilities adjusted to help the MOD meet financial targets, there is a lot of information out there:

Richard Beedall's website has a section dedicated to the T45, the RN simply has one page, the DPA has a project fact file, and BAE Systems have a section on their website dedicated to the T45.

I suspect many of the technologies used with the T45 will also be used for CVF.

Now if you look at any of the pictures the flight deck seems quite large, certainly larger than a T42. Which brings me to the question:

Why is it only intended to carry a single Merlin?
