The Royal Navy (as far as I know) can only use V/STOL aircraft on their current carriers due to their size (the Harrier, for example). It's the main reason they decided to go for the VTOL F-35 (lol) instead of the dedicated carrier model, I think.

No, they've flip-flopped on which version of the F35 to get; not too long ago the plan was to build the [i]Queen Elizabeth[/i] to take Cats and Traps and get the C version, which would be cheaper in the long term, until someone pointed out the short-term cost and they went back to Bs.
