New Royal Navy Carriers Delayed.

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.

Maybe they could fly a kite???:hmm:

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

It will give us a better strike ability and more maneuverability.

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

Poor RN, a shadow of its former self. I guess when you don't have far flung colonies to patrol around one doesn't need the size, but still ... they're already paying off the Type 23s!

Actually I was looking at the current numbers for the RN and I don't think they are as bad as made out in the press.
