USS Wasp is just out from a long dry docking overhaul period so is in no way fit for any type of aviation right now. That's why that is not an option.
I really hope the aircraft make it across but flight safety comes first and Bogdan is mature enough to make the right call despite the undoubted political and commercial pressures. Whilst the
PR of a grounding and missed airshows is bad for the aircraft it is nothing compared to the what would happen if the worst happened mid-Atlantic.
Of note there has been alot less press about the PAK/FA (T-50) that caught fire recently. I'm waiting for the conspiracy theorists to come up with why all these stealth jets keep catching fire!
