Can Navy get a EMALS based but conventionally powered Aircraft carrier like China.
EMALS system is said to take 130kwh energy. That's equivalent to about 40Liters of diesel if domestic generators are used, LM2500 (can use variety of fuel) might be even more efficient. INS Vikrant fuel capacity if 8000 tons. Just 40 Tons of fuel can facilitate 1000 sorties.
Airwing will either run out of ammunition or aviation fuel (x4 Ton each sorty). Maybe such Carrier could've been sought after if Navy's order book and capex was not already capped to the brim.
