maybe the cost of a third cat would out way the possible operational benefits? i really like the look of the two islands and if they benefit the operation of the ships all the better,helm control & flyco being seperate,also the exhaust for the gas turbines and diesels must take up a bit of space,hence why the american cvn islands can be smaller.will the fords have five cats then? i did not know that.
thanks for the link bager1968,lots of fors and against views! im now in the lets not bother & spend our lack of money on other things side of the fence.
i was just looking at aviation websites an just happend apon the T45 goshawk,totaly forgot they ever produced these trainer planes,just wondered if anybody knew if britain had any plans to operate any? would it not be a good stepping stone and save some airframe hours on the F35c?:confused:
hi theres now a video of LB 03 block move on the BAE website,im not to clued up onto linking it so – bae website,click on newsroom,images,sea,warships,QE class,hope anybody interested can decipher my instuctions? 🙂
A couple of weeks ago in the official royalnavy website under the all news segment they had a story about hms daring getting the phalanx guns,might be of interest to you,i did read another artical alas i cant remember where that the type 45s will get harpoons,proberbly when theyve decomissond all the older platforms,
bae website is a bit hard to navigate,i stumbled on it by accident (fortunatly)i didnt know how to do a link sorry,but fortunatly 90in first lived upto his name and provided the link, good man,cant wait to see LB 03 in the dry dock with all the sponsers and decking added,i think then the size of QE will sink in to me,does anybody know how long decking etc will take to fit? yeh LB 04 will be awsome to see aswell.
whats going on in libya? only joshing! in britain there is only a couple of stories on the national tv news about it a week,we acasionaly get aircraft camera footage of blowing targets up on the news but not as much as you would think.
i bet you will be glued to the lovely site when she gets there on the 20th,i would be! maybe it might even make the national news? which would be good for publicity.
thanks for the imfo about LB 03,i was wondering when in august they were going to move it,i really hope the ACA or BAE websites put some updated pictures of it,such a good start to august.or does anybody know of any better websites on the constrution progress?
yes,where where all our allies during the falklands? i know its an obvious argument,suez crises uk & france? im sure more imformed people than i could give more examples,F35C,is it not always better to have something & not need it rather than need something you dont have? also I believe that the closer you get to a target without being seen is better than them knowing your comeing fom a distance,
well yes its in the past,but im sure the skills needed to operate future fixed wing operations will be learned in the next decade,i understand it will be hard & complicated but will happen.
dont get me wrong it was a totaly crap decision to get rid of the harriers,even if they kept half of them to operarate of lusty would of been so much better than the nothing we have now,i was actually dissapointed that they got rid of the sea harriers a few years back,but hay thats only my opinion,
im a total believer in that by 2019 we will have the basic skills to operate a limited number of fixed wing aircraft of our carrier,its 8years away surely thats enough time to rotate the various skills/experience needed between our allies 11 carriers,the more we learn the more we can pass on and grow the expertize we need.
hi
my proper carrier would be like our cvf & lots of them,ie some for just air defence some for just strike but with a nuclear reactor for cruiseing and gas turbines for extra oomph ie 32knots + but unfortunatly we in britain dont have that much dosh,unlike the americans who can afford lots of cvn?
