  Didn't Doug Taylor also propose a system to boost missile launches, similar to that now used for the Sea Ceptor?

  HMSFurious was fitted with a SkiRamp in 1944. Sorry someone else came up with the idea first https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:830_Squadron_Barracuda_taking_off_from_HMS_Furious_at_the_start_of_Operation_Mascot.jpg …

  Nothing can replace CATOBAR-based airpower. UK will spend +3X CATOBAR ships & airwing cost to get much less.
