Modern British carriers
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/resources...craft_carriers
I admit I think in today's financial reality and with the ever shrinking numbers of personell serving and with the already extremely low number of combat vessels available, these carriers are a huge mistake and show British ambition exceeding capability. Thinking about millstones around the navy budget's neck. Quote:
Maybe these two carriers are just the two biggest tears so far shed over the loss of the Empire. Quote:
I already grew nuts when seeing on TV that German submarines patrol - if they patrol at all, that is... - with no torpedoes aboard and the torpedo tubes instead being loaded with supply goods. Some really call for getting pearlharboured again. That the article also said the carriers are not nuclear but depend on tankers keeping them running, left me speechless. So now this war navy of just 19 ships currently not only has to protect two carriers, but also four additional tankers. Planning brilliance at work.Add the task of patrolling the North Sea, Atlantic, and the global ambitions politicians love to babble about.
