Correct me if I am wrong, but autoland is for CTOL aircraft landing on an angled deck. Why would a STOVL aircraft need it?

Anyway: We are where we are - so what decisions can/should the Government make to help us regenerate the carrier capability? I am thinking particularly of things such whole ship (aviation related) skills, and core maritime skills amongst FAA personnel now needing to be reacquainted with the shipboard environment?
