I was talking with a retired admiral this morning about this issue. He said it can’t be done without rebuilding half the ship. You would have to rip out and then relocate most of the engineering compartments.
Yeah, they are not going to do this. They will redefine electromagnetic launchers as steam launchers before they actually dismantle an aircraft carrier.
