Q&A: What prevented Harrier operations from the ship discussed?

Why was the ship mentioned unsuitable for Harrier operations?

Its flight deck and installed fittings were unsuitable, and it lacked a ski jump.

The ship's flight deck, lack of a ski jump, and missing fittings are the specific objections to Harrier operations raised here. The comparison with an amphibious-ship class shows that a ski jump alone does not provide every facility needed to operate combat aircraft. Adding omitted equipment later would cost money. The ship's name is unclear in the captions.
