There are different sizes of carriers with different propulsion systems. A licence build, conventionally powered QE carrier with arresting cables and ski-jump is within reach for Turkey to build and field 10 years from now while at the same time developing a whole ecosystem to support it like frigates, supply vessels, subs, helicopters and aircraft both unmanned and manned.

Wait, you are actually saying that Turkey in 10 years will be able to build and field an aircraft carrier?

I think you grossly underestimate the aircraft carrier business. If it was that simple, China would have dozens of them already

4 years later and the thing is under construction, non-licensed design and planned to be in service within the 10 year time frame I gave back then.
