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 ever equipped with tail hook. 1944 is 4 years later than 1940, so you are telling me that in 1940, the USN planned the CVB-41 (later named Midway) because they forsaw 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 chronologic 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, 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 defence alone, not for jets at all. Their larger size is to compansate for the capacity lost to reinforced hull, the plan is actually purely aimed at the armored deck.
