So I’m an undergraduate student and doing a group project for my seminar. Basically title. What should I focus on? How did President Bush’s preference affected the decision? Did the fact that dying Cold War structure made it possible to cooperate with the Soviet and China affected the result? Reading recommendations?

Also I’m not proficient in English, so please be kind to grammatical/ wording mistakes.

There are amphibious assault ships and light aircraft carriers that carry a few STOVL fighter jets. Aside from the QE-class, which is a full-capable carrier, ships like the America-class LHA, ITS Cavour, and the Izumo-class (CVM) fall into this category.

However, in a war scenario, what kind of operations are they capable of? I know the America class could conduct a variety of operations, but what about the Izumo-class? I can’t imagine how many sorties each operation needs to be effective.
