So far, stealth technology has just not been compatible with a carrier environment. We'll have to wait and see if the tech has advanced enough to make stealth truly carrier friendly.
Indeed. I was castigated, quite a while back, for having the effrontery to ask how the stealth coatings would stand up to carrier/deployed service, only to be told that I was a silly boy and that F-35 didn't have stealth coatings.......
