  1.  @matthewmcgee  Not really if you look at what the UK used before and others are using now like Spain. Also the ship Thailand had with a ski jump/ramp was small.

  2. Ramp is BETTER THANKS to the ski jump the UK was able to win the Falklands war in 1982 with an aircraft that most were saying was no good. Ramp is cheaper to run not much to go wrong and you are able to launch aircraft a lot quicker and safer. You also need to produce a lot of energy to run a catapult system and if it goes wrong can do a lot of damage to the ship, aircraft and people on the ship. You also need to ask about landing aircraft at speed it's NOT just about having a catapult and everything is better for the aircraft and ship.
