That said the movement to add cats and traps (or at least traps) to operate UAVs and other types of loyal wingman drones is interesting and would add a lot to the carriers.
Aside from numbers of units, the key for me is getting the lethality of the weapons fit to the F-35s (Meteor, Spear, Storm Shadow/ FCASW) up to speed with the AWACS and AAR improved. That would make them very very capable platforms.
