    Joined my first ship in Liverpool and 2 others to follow ! never forgotten as a young man sailing out and around to London and off on voyage to New Zealand with a full cargo and number 2 hold filled with ammuntion for the NZ defence force. My first time home to Auckland having been away 3 years. Home is the sailor home from the sea said my Dad! 40 years in the RN/RNZN for Dad and 6 years of war included. Happy days at sea and we returned to Liverpool to pay off, the one and only time i paid off there a good run ashore in the city, the old docks will all be gone now but that is progress for you.

      I guess either this trip wasn't good enough to show off even one aircraft on an aircraft carrier, on a special town visit , or maybe the UK only owns a very small number of F35s that have to be shared between the Royal Navy and the RAF, so little that we unfortunately don't have enough to even fully compliment one carrier without borrowing additional F35s from America. We have a great Navy, but if you don't have the tools to do the job, it'll just adds more controversy to the already damaged reputation of these beautiful carriers.

      The UK owns 37 operational F-35s (after 1 crashed). That will rise to 40 early in 2025. They are not 'shared' the are jointly operated as the Harrier Strike Force operated. We paid for 48 but Biden has been playing stupid politics as he hates the UK. Him being 'Irish'! we have funded a further tranche of 30 F-35s.
      Aircraft numbers and types on board are decided by the exercise or operation. But we could put 3 Squadrons of F-35s on a carrier if needed. The last time US aircraft were assigned to a carrier (apart from cross deck certification) was in 2021 when 8 were attached. This is a rather tired old Chestnut you people re still peddling.

So their operational ability is as good as it gets. Yes yes yes I know PoW had a coupling fail but it was fixed while she was upgraded. And those three carriers weren't exactly bedrocks of reliability. So to say the "carriers were highly efficient and never let us down" when the first one had a failed GT on its way down South is a bit contradictory.
      The two QEs have also not let us down as one covers the other if necessary as was needed the once.

      Nice turn of phrase! After all, it'd take the arrival of the Holy Ghost to convince the lying mediocrities of our London establishment elite, how many advanced fast combat platforms we really need and how the QE Carriers must be genuinely reconfigured as per 'Project Ark Royal' to operate them effectively!

      1. Military projects are by definition all prototype projects and will have issues at the start and will certainly need changing as threats change. Its always been that way regardless of which Navy. Ask the Yanks about the Ford Class carriers .....
      2. The Astute programme is a game of two halves: Pre Boat 4 and post Boat 4 when serious upgrades were put in place since that Boat it has been pretty much on schedule. We have just launched Boat 6. Its so good the Aussies are buying it.
      3. Your comments about Ajax are years out of date. You refer to issues from the first planned prototype testing. The pre-production vehicles passed all required tests and standards as planned and its now in full production for service next year.
      4. T26 was always a long schedule (too long IMHO). Ship 5 is now in build and the year's delay overall was down to COVID. Certainly erecting speeds are better with each ship as expected. I would rather wait and get the best than rush and have 2nd best.
      Its always easy to throw shade from outside looking in but there are many reasons none of us know about why schedules slip. I accept the argument that once a design is settled do not change it but then we would not have had the major improvements to Astute from Boat 4 on. Then of course COVID caused delays on every ship / boat build.

    Currently the UK has received 34 F35s in total between the RAF and RN. Each of the two aircraft carriers support thirty-six F-35s and four helicopters, but with a theoretical surge capacity of up to 72 aircraft. So the RN is wasting tax payer money sailing the aircraft carriers when they cannot be staffed by a full complement of aircraft.

    • @Orbital_Inclination
      @Orbital_Inclination 4 วันที่ผ่านมา +9

      Training the ships crew is not time wasted. The air wing are doing their own work-up on the other carrier, as this one shakes down any mechanical snags before CSG25 next year.
      The theoretical capacity is exactly that, theoretical. Only the US ever deploy with that kind of air wing. It also doesn't take into account deck and hangar space being used for other aircraft or storage.
      The French, probably a good comparison to the UK in this regard, usually embark between 15-25 jets on actual ops, and less for training or exercises.

      That's not even the worst of it. The RFA is a shambles and the RFA Fort Victoria - the only ship in the RFA capable of solid stores replenishment at sea - is permanently out of action. This ship can't sail without the US or some other navy providing solid stores support. The situation is nuts.

It operated probably eight of them during exercise Steadfast Defender earlier this year, (the same aircraft that QE operated) but has never operated anything approaching a full air group. Given the F-35B's known availability and sortie rate, PoW would have difficulty even keeping a CAP up.
