The CVFs after all are going to be Dave-B compatible, not Dave-C.
A point I made to a visiting MP at Base Aerea Gringo when he was down for the tourist, sorry, flesh-pressing season one December. A carrier designed for F-35C can always be used by F-35B and/or Harrier but the converse is not true!
Are the planned new carriers
really not compatible with F-35C - is there no room for catapults and arrestor systems, should that prove necessary?
