New Royal Navy Carriers Delayed.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/7777723.stm
I wonder how many more delays this project will have? I still think the MOD where being very optimistic with there original target of 2014 ,2016.

Better to be delayed than cancelled. They are still working on them. Steel has been cut just fit out will be extended. In some ways since the JSF is late there would be nothing to fly from them as the RAF is trying to can the joint harrier force.

Very true would be pointless having two massive carriers with nothing to fly off them.

At least they will be built, and they will give the RN alot more flexability when they deploy them.

That is two of the reasons the US government is so eager for us to have them.
