Using EMALS and other new tech how small can a carrier, designed to operate 8 F-35C (or similar), 2-4 E-2D and 3-6 ASW helo's, be?
I know steel is cheap and air is free, that large airgroups are more effective / flexible than small ones, but this is how small can a carrier go. Think of this as a neo Colossus / Majestic.
