Indeed and I'm sure the IN has done this done so meticulously and thus, if they propose a 65,000 ton EMALS-equipped nuclear powered carrier then we should be satisfied with their decision.Of course there is no free lunch. We can only look at cost/benefit of each alternative from our perspective.
@Topic, whatever the design of the IAC-2 it should be (and likely will be) adopted as the standard IN carrier design and 2-3 more pumped out in this class before moving on to the next iteration. As it stands, by 2025/6 the IN will have 3 ACCs in service all of different designs/classes and obviously this is a sub-optimal solution from a training ,maintenance and logistics perspective.
