    More importantly where do we find the dock space to build two in tandem!!!

    Which do we believe, the printed SDSR document or the pr (call centre) lady on the phone???

    If QE is more or less completed she would be floated out when? 2014, POW 2 years later?

    [QUOTE=ppp;1654103]Who is Sealord? Then I can decide whether it would be good for me to be him or not ;)[/QUOTE

    Dude sealord lawrence was banned some years ago, he had an acidic side to him/her but was also was highly knowledgable. I’m sure he still keeps an eye on this site. My reference was to your slightly argumentitive side that I was enjoying. I hope you take no offence to my coment. I used to post more frequently but 50 hours at work a week, three young children, an active sportshobby and my own web site kill my ability to join Liger:)

    Question

    In service date of 2019-20 presumably means operating ship with a minimum functioning air group.

    If this is so how soon does the ship need to be floated out to finish fitting out and how long will contractors trials, commisioning and working up with an air group take?

    How soon do we need to be purchasing F35’s to get enough units to allow the ship to be considered operational?

    Yes, I’m fully aware of that and the entire history of our nuclear capabilities, but I, unlike you it seems, am capable of giving an answer to a question that was asked, not to the question you think should have been asked. His question, was most likely based on the fact that, in the even Britain and France were to jointly operate the carrier as has been speculated in the literature and in government, then would there be a place for the nuclear weapons onboard. My answer to this was that it should be possible physically in that it would require only a separate area for the weapons, but would be contrary to British policy 😎

    Since you felt it appropriate to nit-pic at my post, I shall do the same with yours. You state that Britain’s Vanguard class submarines only provide a strategic capability, which is actually incorrect, as the the force will also use single warhead missiles with the option of a lower explosive yield, as a tactical capability.

    Sealord is that you!!!!

    Once I clicked on the link it became clear, but your post included nothing to indicate whether it was about the Israeli Air Force or the Indian Air Force (both abbreviated IAF).

    Didn’t know the israel’s operated Migs……

    Please check out columba mikes websit there is another much better video of the USN firing 5 inch, phalanx and the kitchen sink at RIBS and they cant hit a thing.

    Stay out at sea and launch your choppers anybody?

    If any one can post links to modern ships laying waste to a swarm of fast attack craft (the ship being able to target these RIBS while doing 50mph through a choppy sea) then I’ll be convinced of the idea of LCS.
