Really cant wait to see the Indians operating these of their carriers. This really will be a golden age for the aircraft carrier.
i saw that pic the other day and didnt post it, do you think it looks edited? look around the funnel wheres the line of the mountain and also along the long straight it looks a little odd.
I dont believe they would scrap it now… too much to learn from it e.t.c I believe they have some where be prefabing a complete Island that they will simply bring in in stages and quickly get it on board. The engines are the thing we all want to know about.
Yep what I said yesterday – fake picture as far as im concerned. I wanna see a couple more before I believe they have removed that much.

I would always advocate add a main gun to any Naval vessel it saves mis understandings !

I think I’ll send BVT an email and get them onto it with the Updated Type 23.
Hell’s bells why not just use this for the C2? just drop the ability to fire Tomahawks 😛
Sod developing a whole new thing, just an update.
Type 45
C1 – based on Type 45 Hull
C2 updated Type 23
C3 something tasty based on a design already sold to another country and built by VT
solved, Ill have some lunch now!
slightly moved around

yep like freedom
I wanna sell them my design

ok this was a silly little drawing.
I wondered based on what they cut away if they were simply going to install the systems of the DDG Type 956E, just slapping it on there to get her out as a training carrier.

Ok here we go some initial thoughts, probably a lot of issues but here we go.

Bow sonar: Thales Underwater Systems Type 2050
Towed sonar: Ultra Electronics Type 2087

(This is the Type 23 setup, im sure this will be changed/updated)
on my way home gonna have a stab a a redraw with some proper specs for once.
there is a very simple solution.
A slight redesign/modernisation of the type 23 design
That should hit the mark.
cavour multi-purposes aircraft carriers for Italian Navy
A great looking ship and when the F-35B gets on board she will be a top notch vessel
one more question.
How do i get US citizenship?
