Korea to Build Light Aircraft Carrier

[Scott Kenny]

You need substantially more than that to operate modern fighter aircraft. "Fuel truck and loader" would barely let you operate a P-51, nevermind a 5th gen fighter.

Pretty sure F-35 has an oxygen generator, not an O2 bottle, so you don't need to resupply there. Tires and landing gear use a welder's nitrogen bottle for pressure.

If the electronics have issues, send that plane to a more developed base instead of the road.

Starter cart, maybe, if the F-35 can't start off the APU?

And a big fire extinguisher.

Italians know well all the above problem, as stated before is not a mere problem of "fuel carry and ammo replenishment".
Both ITS Cavour and LPD Trieste were carefully designed around the F-35B's operations.

This (partially) explains how much they cost and the time they took to be commissioned.

A rather significant part of those requirements is heat-proofing the deck, so 1500degC exhaust blasting straight down doesn't burn clean through it!
