I suppose that propulsion problems aren't so serious on a weaponless ship, no real loss :O:

[TLAM Strike]

Why the RN didn't buy the Flight IIA Burkes or build a copy like Korea and Japan I don't know... :-?

Hard headed I guess... :down:

Considering I just got sunk by a Destroyer running me over, I really wouldn't call any ship weaponless..... of course... unless.... his motors failed.

Typical, just as we scrap HMS Ark Royal and the Harriers this happens:nope:

(BTW anyone want to buy some Harrier GR9's going cheap:D)

[Oberon]

Dammit... :damn:

I think the Chinese need some planes for their carrier... :03:

But they can build them over there for less than we could get them there! :nope:

Actually the Sea Viper is working now....

[Jimbuna]

Should have fitted her with gold top batteries :DL

I guess this isn't really as quite embarrassing for the commander as when that sub got stuck on the sandbar.

Nope, that is the Harrier replacement they've got working...

Really you guys traded these for Harriers? :nope:
These could carry a Harrier as payload! :rock:

:haha:
:O:

[Oberon]

Perhaps we'll bring them back...but I'm going to miss the Harrier, a good aircraft, once we ironed out the kinks in her. I'm glad I saw two fly over low the other day, until then I don't think I'd seen them flying in reality.

A sad day, a very sad day.

But could they operate off the carriers the Harriers did?

[XabbaRus]

We traded the Bucs for Harriers too.

The Harrier doesn't operate off carriers it operates off Amphibious Assault Ships and Royal Yachts. :O:
