Comments by "verdebusterAP" (@verdebusterAP) on "HMS Prince of Wales sets sail for drone and F-35 trials" video.
@Louis-ej1lx How about no The QE reached 32 knots whereas Ford can sustain 30 knots indefinitely. The QE would be out of a fuel in a matter of hours trying to sustain 32 knots As for issues, that would be the QE The Ford has F-35/F-18-Fighter/Strike, EA-18G-EW .C-2/CMV-22-COD. F-18/MQ-25-Tanker, E-2D-AWACS and MH-60-ASW The QE has F-35-Fighter/Strike, Merlin for ASW and Merlin Crownest for AWACS The QE class no onboard aerial tankers, or EW and Crownest is already being shown the door The USN has already committed to the LRASM ,for its F-35 whereas the UK F-35 ? The F-18s can carry JASSMs whereas UK F-35s The UK F-35s are operational but with very limited weapons compared to what Fords are carrying for their aircraft Secondly the Fords are built with EMALS and AAG whereas the QE ? And no the QE will not get because it requires massive changes to the ship The QE has only CIWS for defenses while the Ford has ESSM and RAM And thats just the tip of short comings with the QE
