<<"auto-tensioning bollards" is a staggering technical advance for these jetties Its just a shame that we don't have planes to put on the carriers.>>
I looked this up my MOD-English Dikshunary apparently auto-tensioning bollards == Bungee
The real crime of these carriers is no catapults, I know no boilers so no steam; but maybe a version of the electric ones rail gun style. Even if only for the lighter UAVs becoming the primary armament
Maybe they could repurpose the 'auto-tensioning bollards' tech into a couple of rubber bands like my old Kiel Kraft launcher.
