PTW is?
I know the B-2 is actually smaller than the B-52,
the B-52's wingspan is 185ft. while the B-2 has a 172ft wingspan. Not a really big difference.
And the average flight deck is 1,092ft long and 252ft. wide. Now take from that the towers and other planes on deck and you don't have enough room for either bomber, also, they have to hit a catch cord, and stop in about 1.5 sec. also in less than 500ft, because planes could be using the other side for take off. Could you see a bomber tring to land and miss the cord, and have to generate enough thrust to take off again in a blink?
And how would you get it up in the first place? You would sling your aircraft straight into the ocean.
I would have to say, you can't land, or lauch them bombers on or from a carrier.
