Just a couple of points of order there
The suggestion that STOVL doesn't need a Texaco has never actually been looked at in depth. As we operated CVS, with eight cabs max in the pattern, then there was always time to get them on the deck.
QEC was designed to launch strikes of 20+ and I suggest that with that level of crowded pattern on recovery, a tanker might be useful......
As for the F35B recovering, the whole RVL (damn, done it again) saga was predicated on inadequate bring-back for VL.
ME - that looks broadly right, may have been tweaked a bit since.
