Default STOVL and CTOL from big decks - deconflicting ?


I'm merely an amateur observer, but it looks like there are a
couple of issues.

Deployment to theater - means one fewer USN CTOL squadrons
aboard the carrier once in theater. This might not be a big deal if
you are mostly tasked with CAS for Marines, but for a large campaign
using two CVNs, would they configure both air wings with a Marine
squadron or not ?

Cyclic ops - CTOL has long operated with tightly timed
launches and deployments - do you launch and recover CTOL a/c together
and STOVL together, but never mix types ?

How do you change over deck if you are landing a stack of CTOL
a/c and a STOVL has a an emergency landing ?

Are they planning deck run takeoffs with JSF ? (!!!!!)
