Why a Trieste-derived LHD does not need arresting wires

Could a Trieste-derived LHD be fitted with arresting wires?

Yes, with additional design work, although there is little reason when the intended aircraft can use short takeoff and vertical landing.

A Trieste-derived LHD could receive arresting wires if the necessary design work were undertaken. The discussion also questions the case for fitting catapults. With short-takeoff and vertical-landing aircraft available, the modification is considered unnecessary for the proposed role.
