As the two new carriers are the biggest ships the RN have ever had, why cannot they be fitted with conventional steam cat. and arrester gear to operate conventional aircraft and give inter-operabality with our allies? There appears to be plenty of room for an angle deck for landing.
There's no source of steam on board, it electric or nothing for catapults.
