The thing to note is the complete lack of safe parking area clear of either landing or take-off areas, That's why STOBAR ships always have low sortie rates, too few spots clear to have cabs parked fuelled and armed.

That Alaskan highway looks too small for any sort of aircraft movement, but that's no surprise - only CVA01 ever looked at using it for a/c movements.

More interesting will be the deck layout for their first indigenous carrier.......
