As a proud MURICAN ski jumps are basically heresy but at the same time they have some advantages, ...... right?
Also would it make sense to give the flight deck some arresting wires so if say an F-35B gets its lift fan shot out it can make an emergency conventional landing?

This thing is a Wasp/America class sized LHA/LHD so the default is an axial flight deck with no catapults or ski jump and no arresting wires. I'm considering adding a ski-jump to help with STOVL operations and some arresting wires so an F-35B or V-22 can make an emergency landing if the lift fan or tiltrotor mechanism (respectively) become inoperative for whatever reason.
I've also decided, at least for now, to make it conventionally powered so I have to add some smokestacks to the superstructure.

I mean, it can land, but it won't really matter if there's an arrestor wire there or not.

What about for an F-35B? The alternative would be for the pilot to try and land on a nearby CVN (if one is nearby), land at a friendly land base, or to simply fly near the LHA or another friendly ship and eject. If the LHA has some arresting wires and maybe a net the pilot could try to land on the LHA, the flight deck would probably have to be cleared to make room though. The emphasis is on emergency landing.
