The new UK carriers were going to be the size of the Nimitz class carriers, much bigger than what they have now.
The Brits are probably not going to build the twi larger aircraft carriers anyway. They are having problems with guns and butter. The JFK would be a good interim solution and be available immediately.
It would, but maybe it's just me, but I would think they would want to come up with a more capable plane....maybe...
If they pay for it, they can do whatever they want too....
Of course this is all just speculation. I kinda doubt the Navy would want ANY of our CVNs going to anyone once they are done.
No, actually - they're going to be larger than our Iwo Jima LHAs, but about 3/4 to 7/8 the size of an *early* Nimitz. And they're going to be conventionally powered, which seems to me to be a bad idea.
