Is it certain that the General Atomics EMALS system is the one that would be used?
Converteam UK were working on their own EMCAT system which was specifically designed (or said to be designed....) to fit into the reserved spaces on the two carriers
And as Converteam are providing the propulsion system, it would seem likely that they may have a better handle on what goes where and what the costs may be than the American offering
