"Helicopter carrier? Their build or foreign purchase?"

I don't know. I wonder if it can handle the Harrier jet?

The harrier can take off and land vertically depending on how much payload it is carrying.

They use a ski jump when fully loaded with bombs and fuel.

They land vertically after a mission has delivered the bombs and have less fuel.
