For anyone wondering the UK's new carriers explicitly rejected the traditional CATOBAR approach to take-offs and landings in favour of a design that pretty much requires the F35B STOVL variant.

Such carriers could still be used for the UK's Harrier jump-jets, couldn't it?
The UK doesn't own any Harrier jump-jets. They sold them all to the US Marines.
