Its ok, we don't consider ships that carry Harriers to be "Aircraft Carriers" either...

It would be embarrassing!

I'm currently re-reading this:

In the Carrier Operations chapter names like HMS Eagle, Victorious, Ark Royal and Hermes rekindle a lot of memories for me when I was a youngster :sunny:

It's been quite a few years since our mob (RAN) has had a fixed wing FAA capability. Can't see that changing either even with the Chinese launch.

The crew that can read a map and knows difference between shallow water and too shallow water may somewhat improve submarine's navigation capabilities.
