I dont get all the issues with Americans flying off our Carriers. Its our sister nation. The bond we have and interoperability of our forces is a beautiful thing to see. Great ship, great birds and glad to have our brothers and sisters from across the pond right there with us 💪

[nicholasforman]

Absolutely agree with you 100% 2548...Adverse negative and utterly stupid remearks about our brave service men and women should never be tolerated.

As a Brit total repects to the US Marines and co-operation still goes on. I remember back in the 1960's it was thanks to our American Cousins who made sure the Harrier survived into service. Followed both the joint RAF and US Marines a while back F-35b's working together on HMS Queen Elizabeth Aircraft Carrier travel to the other side of the World keeping the sea ways open. Was impressed with footage HMS Prince of Wales with modern large drone use. To be honest I'm totally sick and tired and bored to death of those who constantly put our forces down and wish they get a life. Co-operations with good allies has been going on for many many decades and why we can thankfully unlike others sleep in our beds at night knowing we are safe.

The Queen Elizabeth class are not 280 metres, they are length 284 metres/ 932 feet, Beam 73 metres/ 240 feet, and they have a surge capacity of 72 aircraft.

All these snidey comments! Just be thankful that we do have a navy and a bloody good one at that. This from an ex RAF man who has the utmost respect for all those seamen and flying staff willing to put themselves in danger just so the morons who constantly swipe at them can sleep peacefully. These people need support not adverse comments. Nuff said.

[JckSwan]

She's making a fine addition to the USMC.

[richardpeachey]

Its great too see our American cousins flying and landing on a British carrier, I must admit I would definitely like to see more of the British F35 taking a bigger roll. I find very disappointing that the quantity of F35 the RAF has does not give both carriers a full compliment .

Brilliant job. Nice coverage and our wee ships are performing well given first couple years teething problems. Car manufacturers frequently recall tens of thousands of vehicles as their newer models break, maim and kill folk - moan at them After 100, 000 units made, sure they can't make any more mistakes ? We built two Queen Elizabeth class carriers. They haven't broken, maimed or killed through ' unforeseen challenging design irregularities '. Keep 'er lit the boys yee and don't spare the horses !!!

[WILLIAMWALES]

Have to admit, I am well impressed with the SRVL?

[gregophilip]

these ships can be adapted to take any planes it makes sense to take full advantage of its capacities

[gregophilip]

we need to get trip wires fitted to our ships so they cane lunch all planes from the carriers

[bennuredjedi]

You think that’s bad, take a look at the RCN, they can’t even perform Amphibious operations or support amphibious operations without degrading their own capabilities, it seems to be the norm with the UK and Canada, but Australia seems to understand and apply that understanding into effective and efficient procurement.

[williamdodds]

There should be 3 carriers and at least 12 destroyers and twelve frigates .

[johngodden]

Looks great! Hope you get all the kinks out for when Britain can’t afford to maintain two Carriers! Australia hoping for a fire sale price . . . Or we could throw in a LHD ( Landing Helicopter Deck ) ; )

[MichaelWilliams-movv]

Am I correct in that these ships seem to spend more time in port getting repaired than out on patrol?

[kronos]

Id like to see the UK fund its military properly instead of fighting proxy wars against Russia and throwing money at Ukraine.

[laurencekelly]

Massive aircraft carrier HMS Prince of Wales on its way to becoming a Coral Reef in the south China seas.

[gregophilip]

its time the UK got it right there have been to many mishaps with the making of out ships its time to get it right at a big expense

[PaulStockton-ww]

has the propeller shaft broken down yet

[owainevans]

When it finally put to sea. And how long will it remain there? Before it breaks down again.
