My assumption here is two fold:
1. The arrestor/catapult system is removed from the Lexington when it becomes a museum ship
2. Its a rather complicated system that will have minimal spare parts or knowledgeable staff for operation and repair.
I might be wrong but thats why I was thinking of aircraft that could land/takeoff without it...
