Wonder how they're planning on handling the launch, recovery and stowage of UUVs and USVs? Well deck? Davits or crane? LCS-like mission deck?

8000 tons is an interesting size. With a ski jump, they obviously intend on operating fixed-wing UAVs, but what about manned aircraft? Is it large enough to operate JSFs or Harriers?

What would a notional UAV/UUV/USV/Helo loadout look like?
