Steam catapults cost a hell of a lot to run and maintain.
As against the Cost of Ownership of STOVL aircraft, goodness me, and steam cats are 1940s technology!

A cat and trap carrier with C-model JSFs would require a full time air group, because CV ops would impose a heavy training burden in a way that STOVL ops don't. Using RAF Harriers on the CVS carriers was always practical in a way that using RAF Buccaneers or Phantoms never would have been.
hmm, dashed disapointing that by now, no training savings can be realised by automating CV procedures.

Yep, hide the 'weightings' and you can prove anything.
