I admit when I typed that out, I was thinking more with the KanColle vibe, though IRL that still applies...

Without a ski jump even an F-35B would have a very limited payload and range. To make a serious aircraft carrier they would need a catapult and arresting gear, or a ski jump.
Plus I have no idea how long it would take to upgrade the actual surface of the flight deck, which presumably is currently not designed to cope with the heat from the engines of a fighter.

USN is using Wasp class F35B no ski jump
With or without a ski jump the F35B is a very powerful aircraft no question

The deck treatment are coming anyway. They are needed for the V22.

They are already treated.
The Hyuga type is only the aft landing pad but for the Izumo type all landing pads are treated for V22 jet wash.

May i ask a question?
The fcs-2-31B on the takanamis' guide the essm to the target right?
But would the essm work without the fcs-2-31B?

Auhhh,,,, FCS is an acronym for Fire Control System. ESSM is a semi-active homing type missile requiring requiring constant radar lock-on from the ship.
So no ESSM will not work.
