There are quite a few things odd about this article, chief among them, why is it posted on a law firm website? This isn’t news, it’s practically an opinion piece.

They probably won’t for a while. They do, however, have helicopter destroyers that coincidentally support F-35 operations. However, please keep in mind that this isn’t a carrier, but rather a helicopter destroyer. We may also expect to see helicopter cruisers in the future, but that’s TBD.

/s if that wasn’t obvious, they already very much have carriers even if they aren’t exactly Nimitz-class carriers.
