It is actually a necessity to buy V-22 for any carrier that doesn't have catapults. It is the only way to fly spare engines to keep the carrier on station. After a few weeks of intense air operations it would really suck if you have to go back to port just because you can't fly in the spares you need. It would be great if you could sling them over from the replenishment ship but they are just too heavy for ship-to-ship transfer.
