Wow, that's one very futuristic design. Somehow it slightly negates worrying about Russia's (only) carrier that can't go out of port without a tug incase it breaks down!
I read recently (can't remember where, maybe Twitter) that the US Navy currently has only one ship that was designed after 1985 available for operations, with the rest being tied up in port due to serviceability issues. Don't know if that's true.
