I'm pretty sure that the new aircraft carriers will still work with harriers if the JSF proves impractical.It's the time it took for them to actually get their fingers out and get anything done that's the problem. It took from 1997 to 2004 before they actually approved a design.

They should have designed them with launch catapults and refitted some Typhoons, job done.
