What is unique in this design is that missile are launched from open flight deck. How effective and good this thing will be when deployed in terms of ease of operations?

Terrible idea. What if the missile launch mechanisms failed ? What are the responses in that event ?

Impressive model indeed.. Speaking of the USS Gerald R. Ford. It's now on my 'bucket list' to walk on her deck someday. What a beauty!

This means it won't be able to launch any aircraft with missiles being launched at the time.
