nose wheel will be fixed so no ground taxiing ability
Why would you want to ground taxi on the back of a ship
Who makes these decisions? Admiral, Sir, we can't get it into the hangar. Little wheely thingy at the front won't turn. OK Jack we'll make up a little towing fixture with wheels so yer can jack up the nose, slip it in and bobs yer uncle. Cheap at 100,000 per. Issue one per aircraft, oh, and better toss in a few spares, can't have aircraft sat on back of ship all cruise stuck in the weather an all.
