With the fact we don't have the full compliment of F35B yet it is going to take some time id say we wont be fully operational until around 2025 with QE, we also need to put F35B onto the POW and train her crews.

In reality the cross decking and other training is new to the QE but not new to the rest of the fleet, id say by the time we get to the south china sea we would be around 70% there plus we should have more F35B by then as well.

JW2020 is a large exercise and not only is QE being tested but Prospective submarine captains are also joining JW2020 (Perisher) so there is quite a lot of training to be had from this exercise.
