C de G can operate Hawkeyes. They made the angled-deck a little tooooo short(for all weather operations) but have since rectified that shortcoming(pun intended). LOL

Building carriers is an incredibly difficult undertaking. thats why China has shelved their plans and the UK(now sorta joint with France LOL) program has major problems. And India time will tell.

30000fl or less small carriers are fairly easy but over that the difficult issues become greatly magnified.
