1) is there a fleet air arm that flies anything fixed wing?
2) F-35 will be hugely expensive and conspicuously all foreign contractors are being kept from making local versions
3) If you had the will to modify Typhoon for carrier service could you do so? It only took two decades to make Typhoon even fly, then political threats from/to everyone involved to make them buy it (every country, EVERY country involved canceled their buy of typhoon at one time or another.
4) the ski jump works pretty good on almost any type of aircraft (the Russians use it and it flings MIG's into the sky pretty well, now if they can just figure out how to land them! LOL)
5)Unless the RN enjoys French, Dutch, German, Japanese (very, very unlikely) and, especially, United States Navy escorts why bother with the beast? Why not build something you can afford, support, escort, build/rebuild, and most of all pay for?
6) I believe the French have a competitor for Charles Degaul in the ugliest carrier contest......
