So then, why are you still use USN hull classified? Using other people stuff with your own apply? So do you want use 1m = 1 feet too?

Do you want me lear more history? So, do you know USAAF's P-80's first flight in January of 1944? RAF also has their jet fighter first flight in Septemper 1943 is DH Vampire. And US begin their jet fighter P-80 on carrier USS Franklin D Roosevelt in October 1946. It is mean, they already planned use jet fighters on Carrier, and it long time project, not just some months-projects. I see how you and Archer 88 has such temper, lolz, too confident on your knowledged. Lol to see how you lose your temper. Check your typos and grammar.

Only 1 P-80 was ever equipped with tail hook. 1944 was 4 years later than 1940, so you are telling me that in 1940, the USN planned the CVB-41 (later named Midway) because they foresaw that they will have P-80 in 1944, LOL.

Work on XP-80 was started in 1943, 1 year after USS Midway's ship order being made, and by the time P-80 first flew, USS Midway's construction was already under way (and no design change was made). Learn the chronological order, kid.

Why Navy got the P-80 if they didn't want them on carriers? Don't you know that Navy had their land-based air fleet as well? US didn't have an independent Air Force until 1947.

The Midway-class requires further remodel (SCB-110) in order be able to handle jets, otherwise even a P2V-2 Neptune will need JATO to take off (which is very harmful to the deck), and you are trying to say that they are planned partly because of jets, LOL.

Learn the truth, Midway was planned to launch piston engine aircrafts only, their armor were for defense alone, not for jets at all. Their larger size was to compensate for the capacity lost to reinforced hull, the plan was actually purely aimed at the armored deck. Midway only laid down in October 1943 and P-80's first flight in January 1944 and P-80 project was begin at early of 1943, the time to laid down 3 year after the planned, it don't mean they don't change the plan, in war, plans are changed rapidly, even many under-building warship were changed and covertted depend on war, example: Shinano, under countruct as battleship, and then covert to aircraft carrier when IJN want more carrier.

P-80s were give to USN for not just stand in land-base, that why at least 1 P-80 begin testing on Roosevel. Nothing everything perfect at beginning, after many test and analyzed, Midway got upgrade for better carry jet fighter, and that don't make they don't built for jet.
