"SRVL is required if a B model is to ever safely carry a useful warload and have an option of bringing it back to a QEC in operationally representative environmental conditions.

"The QEC deck is big enough for SRVL. Other STOVL decks are not."

There is a lot there to ponder, FB.

Are we saying that "other STOVL decks" (do we mean the narrow LHA/LHD?) don't have the option of returning a "useful warload" under "operationally representative environmental conditions"?

Because VLBB including weapons... was sorta why we got into this in the first place.
