A display area at the Fleet Air Arm Museum relates to the new Royal Navy Queen Elizabeth Class carriers. There were two designs submitted. The top picture shows the selected ship with a ski jump ramp and the second picture a more traditional looking carrier with an offset flight deck.
The final choice between the two was based on the Navy, and RAF in fact, electing to go with the F-35B which is the STOVL version of the aircraft as opposed to the F-35C which is launched with catapult assistance when on a carrier.
