CTOL, STOL, VTOL, VSTOL all refer to land-based ops.

Arf. And Invincible is not a STOVL ship ?

I agree about the B bit - why would you want to add 'But' ?? - you
don't say 'Short Take Off BUT Vertical Landing' - STOBVL do you ??

I don't either, as I wrote, that's why I don't see why there is one B in
CATOBAR. Catapult take-off BUT arrested recovery ?
