At least bring a few Harriers out of mothballs to make it look a bit more useful.

Too Bad the F-35 sucks the root.

450 men on tiny Mary Rose? This is like 45 000 men on the new carrier! And they say sailors are cramped today!

It can track “A tennis ball traveling at 2,300 mph”.

I’ll bet it wins the ship division at Wimbledon.

"The radar systems can track up to 1,000 contacts in the air ..."

Since she has no planes of her own, can we can assume that is 1,000 enemy contacts?
