They can measure the length of the HMS Invincible in Portsmouth?
It has 196 ms or 210 ms? :rolleyes:

Because the UK realised that they needed them all.

they did not need it, proof of it is that immediately to his return she is sent to refit.
The Argentine Air Force was destroyed and no longer it represented threat.

In addition they counted on the new airport in Port Stanley/Puerto Argentino.

55Heros: ok looking in my official guide, I see they mentione the fleet retrofitted the ski jump from 7* to 12* as fitted to R07, the interesting thing is that there is now R07 listed anywhwere, will get back to you on this

R05 Vince
R06 Lusty
R09 Ark

Who the devil is R07? I’ll get back to you shortly on this!

You know was are the true reason for which Australia did not buy the HMS Invincible after Falklands/Malvinas War? :confused:
(they changed of opinion in June of 1982, the R05 fué attacked the 30 of May of 1982) 😉

Illustrious replace Invincible and she was like a “joker” being Invincible and Illustrious. In 1983 Invincible was sent one year to be repaired so they could covered it perfectly.
Then in 1985 Ark Royal was built and another one in secret, which you know today as Invincible.

Here i explain better:

Everybody think that HMS Invincible is “R05”, but no. The R05 was sunk…

HMS Invincible (R 07)
2005: Portsmouth

HMS Illustrious (R 06)
2005: Portsmouth

HMS Ark Royal (R08)
Extended Readiness thru 2006
2005: Portsmouth

RN said in your website:
HMS Ark Royal is larger than her 2 sisters (R05 Vince y R06 Lusty) at 210 metres (683 feet) long.

If R05 and R06 have 194 metres…
(see this link: http://www.naval-technology.com/projects/invincible/specs.html)
How they they can explain the longitude difference in this photo?

:confused:
