American supercarriers are simply beautiful. They embody global power and project strength.
The British ship looks like Kanye’s limo.

The ‘Liz’ needs a reactor, another hundred feet+ length, some more beam and catapults. And straighten out that deck. It’s warped.

A ship without its weapons is just a floating hotel with a radio.

I sailed on one of the Queens last summer ... it was just as well-armed as the Queen Elizabeth ...

Part of the capacity difference is due to different operating procedures. U.S. carriers park aircraft on the flight deck between air ops, and sometimes even during. The Royal Navy has always stored their aircraft on the hanger deck. That has historically resulted in smaller air wings.

Iron Duke should not be a frigate. The RN should not be assigning dreadnought names to small ships.

That Queen Elizabeth is exercising with Bush without an air wing is, in a sense, the point.
It is? I don't know anything about military matters but wouldn't it have made sense to build some aircraft for this aircraft carrier to carry before spending billions to build it?

Why build a carrier at all if you are going to put F35s on it? Single engine planes! I hope there are a lot of rescue ships. F35 armed Navies are going to need them
