Will Britain’s new aircraft carrier solely be dedicated to the vertical take off F-35 ?
If so then these new carriers will be shorter but larger in gerth to store those vertical take off F-35 ?
Fat Queen Carriers/Big Mamas.
Smaller carrier, greater utility and in theory lower maintenance costs... Until you arrive at the new tech part.
They should have built a normal carrier. They bought into the F-35 and built a ship for it. Now the aircraft are not ready. They do not even have guns that can be fired yet after a couple of decades.
Interesting other problem. The bombs if the enemy had them would take out a fleet in no time.
