I am way too young to have flown off anything other than toy carriers, but that does not mean I don't understand what we have lost.
Proper carriers were in a different league capability wise.
The modern toys flying off them have come a long way, but to suggest that "Technology and capability" have moved on misses the point.
FA2 and SK6/7 off a toy carrier was surprisingly effective, but nobody suggests that it would have stood toe-to-toe with Nimitz
If we had the money we would have stuck with proper carriers and had greatly increased capability.
Our new semi-proper carriers should at least be a step in the right direction.
