Also a not super strategiec target to send out a force to Capture. "Sir we have taken the mountain". Yes and what do we prevent the enemy access to. "Well sir. They can't reach their cabins anymore.

    The aircraft carrier is nice especially that slopped end of the runway

    • @RandomNickyDee2
      @RandomNickyDee2 4 ปีที่แล้ว +147

      It's called a ski-jump. It allows aircraft to takeoff at lower airspeed and therefore using less fuel or carrying more payload. The effect is enhanced on vertical takeoff and landing aircraft like the Harrier or F35B. The British have been using them since 1944, but they've never caught on in the US. Infact, the US and France are now the only countries with flat carrier decks left. The US has stuck with flat carrier decks as it marginally improves turnaround time between launches, and US carrier doctrine is still very much based around a WW2 pacific theatre concept that favours being able to launch the entire air-wing in as short a time as possible. Arguably its a very out of date doctrine in the modern era. The French use flat decks because they don't know what they are doing, and these days their beleagured aircraft carrier is little more than an expensive and ineffective white elephant.

      @@RandomNickyDee2 I think you misunderstand the function of STOVL ships. The CATOBAR carriers are by no means out of date, and France certainly knows what they are doing with their designs. CATOBAR does tend to have quicker turn around times than STOVL ships, but the point is launching and landing heavier aircraft. Such as fixed-wing AEW/AWAC, EW aircraft, and fighters with heavier payloads.

Strange thing that also missing was a deck locker. These were steel lockers full of ropes etc, with large holes in so they did not fill with water. The rumour was he bullied the wrong man who banged him on the head in the dark put him in the locker secured it and pushed over the side. Dad served with a lot of WW2 vets. He said they could be a hard lot. They had seen and experienced too much! Too many convoys, too many bodies!

    How many Yanks can say they were aboard one of Her Majesty's warships when they unexpectedly ran a fire drill? Sitting in the enlisted mess knocking back a warm ale when the PA said (slow and droll) *_"Fire drill, fire drill, fire drill. Fire, fire, fire..."_* and everyone went running with the only instruction given me: STAY HERE. I guess they abandoned ship & left me to burn up! :-) Way to go HMS Battleaxe.

      The Destroyer could launch her helicopter because it; A, wasnt their crew and B were likely further away when they launched the helo.
      The reason we didnt see QE launch any of her planes likely stems from the fact that the crew was assembling themselves for role call and due in part to the fact that likely the search and rescue teams *(atleast from what I know about the RCN [proud Canadian here])* are much more readily available with their Rigid Inflatable high speed craft than spooling up a helicopter which takes a few minutes longer than a RHIB, and in a man overboard scenario, minutes are everything.
