Furious and the STOBAR carrier label

Is it accurate to call HMS Furious the first STOBAR carrier?

The label can technically be argued, but it is not a good fit; the Royal Navy's experiments pointed toward catapults.

A technical argument can be made for applying a short-takeoff, barrier-assisted-recovery label to Furious, though the label remains unpersuasive. The Royal Navy's experiments aboard the ship pointed toward catapult launch systems rather than making Furious a straightforward modern-category carrier. The exchange clarifies both carrier terminology and early flight-deck experimentation.
