your ship is not suitable for any other then VTOL aircraft! there is no traditional landing runway!
for the tasks you have in mind I think it is better to build 2 ships of half the size then this behemoth.

also: as said, the sylph isn't suitable for VTOL. look at all VTOL craft with rotating nozzles: they have large structures around the engines to reinforce that area. the sylph has NONE of that. making it larger isn't that good: it is already larger then most aircraft. on an aircraft carrier size matters.

for that '5.5 gen fighter' : it is called the chengdu PHOTOSHOP. they mixed in: yf-23, af/x, f-22, mig 1.44, JSF and some chinese designs. and I really worry about it's flyability.

Well, the Wasp, Tarawa and America classes don't have a traditional landing runway... They are Amphibs after all... My CVN is a whole different ship, slightly larger, as it is a Trimaran design, so increased length and width, but more or less (probably more ) the same draft as a Ford class carrier. To be honest, I've tried including an angled runway in a preliminary drawing, but the centerline superstructures are in the way.
Damn, I hadn't thought about the reinforced structure (size was obvious).

I was afraid of that. Well, Saab JAS-45 it is then.

[Just as a bit of reference, while I think you are getting on the right track (still a bit big, but not as bad as it was), I strongly recommend that you read This post on carriers and how they relate to amphibious assault ships, where I quote a former naval architect, defense analyst, and friend, Stuart Slade.

Just so you know Rem, the X-2 JHL has already been drawn in SB. Though not the ugly fan one.

The Norhern European Union originated from the present day EU. After he financial crisis, and the problems with the 'Southern' countries such as Spain, Portugal and Greece, the 'Northern' countries decided to take matters in to their own hand and abandon the Brussels-dominated EU. The Nothern Eropean Union consists of Scandinavia (Norway, Sweden, Finland), Denmark, Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Iceland and The Netherlands. They have again closed their borders to non-NEU nations, but have still good relations with France, Belgium, the United Kingdom, Japan and Israel.

Italy (with it's problematic leader Berlusconi) is almost completely ignored, while the southern countries struggle to restore their economy. The Balkan is again in a civil war, and is a threat to the security of the NEU.

The economy of he NEU on the other hand is booming. Thanks to breakthroughs in environmentally friendly power generation and nuclear waste disposal, as well as a leading authority in science the standard of living is higher than ever before.

The United States are a whole other story. After four years under the leadership of president Obama, another ultra-conservative Republican president rose to power. The national debt increased even more, and the economy was all but completely destroyed. The once proud nation is now on the brink of being a third world country, and has almost no meaning in Global Politics, the NEU has purchased many patents from the US, so hardware similar to Boeing, Bell-Textron, Lockheed-Martin and other companies is ow being developed in the NEU.

Russia is a little better, but still lacks freedom of press, and is still (unoficially) lead by Putin. Relations have improved however and there is a good deal of trade between the NEU and the Russian Federation.

Well, needless to say, the backgrond story still needs a lot of work, but this is more or less the base for my AU.

And yes, I know this is of topic.
