Why Enterprise did not receive Standard missile launchers

Why was Enterprise not fitted with Standard missile launchers like the Kitty Hawk class, and was SCANFAR a failure?

Missile firing created flight-deck hazards, while SCANFAR pursued valuable ideas before the supporting technology was fully ready.

The panel explains that firing a Standard missile from a carrier could scatter debris across the flight deck and interfere with aircraft operations. That made the Kitty Hawk-style installation unattractive for Enterprise as carrier self-defense doctrine evolved. On SCANFAR, the answer deliberately avoids restricted detail but distinguishes an advanced concept from an entirely failed idea. Several features were ahead of their time and became more promising once later technology could support them.
