"There's no need for a launch system," Rebecca replied. "There's plenty of room to land and take off. Hangers are on deck 20, and that allows for us to carry a standard 100 fighters and other support craft.

"Then we'll have to do some simulations," Rebecca suggested. "I don't think we need to complicate things, but superior is superior."
