KE can't land on anadolu without massive revision of deck or without seriously risking damaging the ship and crew. Simple as that
Man i don't have any time to dig deep in UAV thread, feel free to use search and see how some people claimed KE will be operative on Anadolu.
Anadolu is not a supercarrier, it's an LHD. In wartime she won't send out sorties of fixed wing aircraft left and right; she will send helicopter groups. Sortie generation and spacing is a problem for all carriers. TB3 launch and retrieval operations can take up to 15-20 minutes for each aircraft; this wouldn't hamper helicopter operations that much.

And Anadolu also have a heli spot on the starboard side behind the Phalanx. We don't know if this is secondary spot to launch, if it can retrieve from there as well; but it exists.
Well, we are lucky for not having the mentioned helicopters (or a concerning amount of those to interfere with schedule of TB3 operations) which inherently leaves the deck empty.
