Queen-size: Size of the new Queen Elizabeth Class aircraft carrier if it was on the River Thames
To: sukhoi-30mki
The price of the carriers has soared to £5.3billion nearly £2billion over-budget and next years Strategic Defence Review will decide whether we keep both or sell the Prince of Wales to recoup some of the costs.You think HRH could really fetch such a sum? < /s >

How did they get it under the Bridge?
Must be a Submarine that looks like an Aircraft Carrier.
Q must have designed it.

This is a fleet carrier with Tier 1 capability, America style.

This may help them beat Argentina again, should it come to that.

Sorry but these big carriers are anachronistic. All it would take is one stealth shore to ship , air to ship or ship to ship missile and that would be the end of it. Stealth technology applied to drones and missiles makes these big capital ships almost indefensible.

Is it made of aluminum, like their ship that burnt to a crisp fighting the Argentinas.
