Navy Turkish Aircraft Carrier Project

F6U Pirate, F9F Panther, F-9 Cougar, FJ Fury, FJ-2 Fury, FJ-3 Fury, F11 Tiger, F8 Crusader, A7 Corsair II, A4 Skyhawk, FH3 Demon, F4D Skyray. AV8B Harrier all have operated on aircraft carriers with single engines. We shouldn't be so closed off to single engine aircrafts, also, engines have become a lot more reliable over the decades...

Maybe we can grab some modernised A4 Skyhawks from Brazil as an interim solution

I know they have been used bro but most of these are ancient and the Harrier had a high accident rate. I guess it just depends on where one places priority. IMO the TuAF should (and is) increasingly moving toward quality over quantity, in which case pilots are the most valuable thing. It takes decades to develop an experienced, high quality pilot. If you're aiming for the highest quality air force, even a single pilot dead in a training accident is a big loss. The risk may seem small but it's cumulative over time, so the more experienced a pilot, the higher the risk. That said, a single engine plane is better than no plane..
