A Sea Ceptor fit for the Queen Elizabeth class

Why does the Queen Elizabeth class lack surface-to-air missiles, and what system would fit best?

Sea Ceptor is the preferred choice because cold launch limits deck debris and a distributed sixty-four-missile fit could be paired with heavier close-range guns.

The answer begins with the usual objection that missile exhaust and debris can interfere with carrier aviation. Sea Ceptor's cold launch reduces that foreign-object-debris problem and shares a missile family with weapons already supported for the air group. The suggested fit is four sixteen-cell blocks, giving sixty-four missiles without consuming excessive space. Additional 40 mm and 57 mm guns would create a layered close-defence arrangement around the ship's corners.
