  1. missed out the main advantage of the HMS Queen Elizabeth only has a crew of 679 and labour is expensive in the UK so lots of automation
    57
  2. its not the cost its the number T45 has only 48 VLS that can not be reloaded at sea with 21 targets in a day even 1v1 its dry in 3 days sure the US ships have more VLS but at this rate they are all in trouble

  10. thats what it is under the fancy tacit-col black pain job, the spec was a large work area with power and a crane it lets them test things out at sea without diverting a frigate to do it, its a good idea but the marketing team have gone over the top on it

  26. once the war is over sure, after all the RN is scraping both of the existing ship classes discussed here with the plan to use fully automated systems instead this could be a good testing environment. would the UN be footing the bill?
