19 July 1944 Casablanca-class escort carrier USS Kwajalein (CVE-98) heading towards the Pacific war zone, her flight deck jammed with fifty-nine F4U Corsairs and F6F Hellcats. Most carriers were used as airplane ferries when first joining the fleet or rejoining the fleet after refits.

Sad, it is only used as a Helicopter carrier. Are they purchasing F-35B or Harrier Jets? I missed those A-4.

No, but they want to built their own carrier in the future (2030). CdG class peharps.
And, AFAIK no F-35 for the moment, and there is no Harrier on the second hand market.

Howewer, Atlantico has been reclassified as aircraft carrier. Probably for osprey or drone.
