Not sure, I had to order the bulbs via MoD stores. In fact they actually sent me a dozen entire lamp units, instead of just the bulbs, which were sent on the back of an artic from Faslane.

Nothing lasts for ever! No point in trying to emulate what once was, those days are gone - RN is better at becoming more specialised and ‘niche’ - working at being a valued partner for larger navies i.e. US using world class knowledge / capability.
@@Matt-rq3bu well currently we have the new INS Vikrant or IAC-1 in sea trials (our second active carrier, indigenously designed and built) en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/INS_Vikrant_(2013) We were planning to build or acquire a much larger carrier as our third(read INS Vishal or IAC-2), I thinks talks were going on with UK to help with this project and that's where the rumours of acquiring HMS Prince of Wales started.

The captain thinks if he uses flags or morse code with lights instead of radio he will be safe from an enemy not understanding his messages. The enemy probably knows the flags and morse code better than him.
Most aircraft carriers only have minimal defences so they have as much space as possible for flight operations. So defence from things like missiles and submarines falls to frigates, destroyers and cruisers. US carriers for example always travel with their battlegroup which will have multiple destroyers and cruisers defending the carrier.
because an aircraft carriers weapons are its aircraft. every carrier in the world never travels alone, instead they travel with other ships all with their own special role in the task force

maybe not the most powerful, but 100% the most skilled
Doubt
@@howelldale2588 nah
Experiance of the RN is basically unmatched
@@howelldale2588 good job your opinion is worthless. We are the most powerful and skilled. Cry more.
"whether russian or not."
An easy target for every soviet-era missile, especially when escorted by type 23 frigates...
its really China and NK ppl gotta keep an eye on
15 years later UCAVs take of from HMS QE and USVs act as its body guards

It isn’t the British Royal Navy just royal navy
Like to hear the accent of UK people😀
I would love to get one of those flashing lights for a lamp in my bedroom haha
You can only use them for a relatively short time as they produce so much heat they can burn their innards.
@@findecycle6533 couldn't just change the bulb to an LED?

Hi bro I love your videos
dude this is the smithsonian
God bless the Royal Navy 💞😘😘.
Cool
It's crazy to think that the nation who once had the greatest navy power probably of all time is reduced to this.
What do you mean "reduce to this"?!

thats because countries aren't going to war every few years
Thats funny, I live next door to this ship and its sister ship, they ain't gone anywhere in weeks, maybe months.
This recording is from like a year ago
@@musman9853 has to be yeah or however long ago
@@cam70980 iirc it's from when the QE came to the states last year
@@musman9853 yup it was
They left yeasterday
Really hoped HMS Prince of Wales would be given to India, seems unlikely now, our third carrier will have to wait
Have India ever attempted to try build their own? We have given you quite a few ships over the years.

Bruh it’s ours go away😂. It’s just in much earlier stages or preparing for readiness so it’s not really doing much atm

Its an aircraft carrier, so where are the aircraft??
Didn't you see the helicopters?!?
This was a few years back, they were sailing across the Atlantic to begin trials with the F-35.
Stealth don’t you know!!
Helicopter is an aircraft.
It is in stealth mode
Hmmm...
Old News ! !
I think its for safety reasons.

First
Aircraft carrier is the most powerful ship in the military why would it need bodyguard ship. Waste of money
Most aircraft carriers only have minimal defences so they have as much space as possible for flight operations.
So defence from things like missiles and submarines falls to frigates, destroyers and cruisers.
