I love the british peoples and i deeply respect them , but there’s only one fair answer to this issue (not your above btw). And i’m sure many britishers agree too.
Anyway , my “dream” argentine military is not for war, but for defense, detterence and political weight. There NEEDS to be a setlement on this (something akin to Hong Kong f.e.)

There WAS a settlement. It happened in 1982 when the Argentine forces at Port Stanley surrendered. Argentina ended any chance of getting those islands when they invaded.

I have been thinking the same thing for sometime. Really, the design is very flexible and can do several missions. That its larger American Cousins are ill suited for….

Nonetheless, I think it will be a very important part of any Allied Fleet.

Its “larger American cousins” do exactly what they are designed for. They arent used as or meant to be multipurpose ships. The US Navy has seen fit to use their ships as singlepurpose vessels leaving amphibious warfare to specialized ships. If this is “better” or not is, I think, a matter of opinion. Certainly it is costlier, but the US seems to be willing to accept this.

Im a big Space 1999, UFO fan. RIP.

Man, can you see the QE and Ford Operating together as a Strike Group. Escorted by Burke & Daring Class Destroyers and Virginia & Astute SSN’s! Talk about a “JUGGERNAUT”.

I dont know. It seems to me that I would love to have the Type 45s and the Astute attached, but as to the QE………….I guess it would be nice to have her Merlin sqdn for the extra ASW value, but other than that and adding another deck for helo ops, all she would contribute would be one sqdrn (8 to 12 a/c) of less capable F-35s (with less range than the “C”s) than the Ford allready carries. Would that be worth the added logistical burden? I’m not sure. And she would dictate the TFs maximum speed.

If you look at the stats, there really has been no increase in the number of shootings like this since 1947 or so. But it really does amuse me that libs like yourselves cant see the reason for something that another country does, so you just pour out your snide superiority. The one thing that truly pleases me is the knowledge that there is not one thing you can do to change the situation.:D

All the super carriers that the USN has decommed are pretty much used up anyways. Even with a major overhal/rebuild I wouldnt think there would be much life left in them.

In theory. Not proved yet tho, is it?

What can I say Lincoln. Your mind is made up and nothing is going to change it. You seem to like the way you live and would like to impose that on others. I can tell you this…..one of the reasons that I have “several” firearms, is because people like you think I shouldnt have them.:):D so there. Am I drunk right now? I AM a lttle buzzed, thankyou, because its Christmas and the wife is out with her demo……I mean sister.
