If your EM Cat LHD can launch full load STOVL fighters to their maximum combat radius, (manned or unmanned) that opens up a whole new world.
如果您的 EM Cat LHD 可以将满载的 STOVL 战斗机发射到其最大作战半径（有人驾驶或无人驾驶），这将开辟一个全新的世界。

I’m sure there’s more than enough small islands in the SCS and peripheral island territories for (Senkaku,Batan, etc) which could be considered for which such a platform could be a good fit.
我确信南海和周边岛屿地区有足够多的小岛（钓鱼岛、巴丹岛等），可以考虑使用这样的平台。

A simple measurement reveals that the electromagnetic catapult rail on the LHD is similar in length to Fujian's No. 1 and No. 2 catapults. The LHD also has arresting cables.


Yes, if it's a medium-sized fighter jet without vertical takeoff and landing capabilities, like the J-35, the LHD can launch it within its maximum takeoff weight range, just like an aircraft carrier.


Gentlemen, why aren't you discussing this?

There's no doubt about the V/STOL aircraft.
