We are flying Harriers off the JFK now. Probably part of a Marine Aircraft Wing.
Sure thing, but aren't we also flying Hornets off of it?
What I'm saying is that if the Brits or NATO threw down the money for a deck that size, wouldn't logic also follow that they would try to get another type of plane to go with it?
Incorrect. The Kennedy hasn't launched any fixed wing aircraft in a long time, two of the cats have already been gutted for parts and the arresting gear has been taken out of service, and Harriers have never operated from the JFK. The only aircraft that are certified to operate from her deck are rotary winged platforms. The only big deck CV to have a Harrier squadron embarked as part of a CVW was the FDR back in the late 70s. Marine Harriers operate from LHAs and LHDs as part of MEU ACEs, not CVWs.
