@My trash Builds depends on your definition of 'in service' doesn't it, she's already been commissioned and has completed her sea and aircraft trials. If we're judging this by whether she has her full combat capabilities ready then wtf is the Kusnetzov doing on this list lol

@kristianxoto and actually we DO have nuclear attack subs, the new Astute-class, among the most advanced, fast and powerful in the world? Maybe actually LOOK UP this stuff before commenting?

@lorddaver5729 if we're supposed to be talking only about 'active' ships what the hell is the Kusnetzov doing on here then
2
@kristianxoto has a full complement of helicopters and at least five F35's on her right now
1
@kristianxoto wasn't claiming she was but nor's Kusnetzov gonna be anytime soon after nearly bloody sinking and still having a big hole in her and lots of fire damage, she's still on the list though

@kristianxoto Queen Elizabeth on the other hand has a full crew, is fully fitted-out, does have aircraft and is getting more, and has completed her sea trials and most of her aircraft trials including fixed-wing. If something like another Falklands War broke out and we really needed to, we'd stick every F35 and pilot we could get our hands on in her, round up the rest of the fleet and be able to send them right down there with the flagship at their head

@kristianxoto helicopters can drop torpedoes and fire guns, rockets and missiles and if they were that useless in combat every major power wouldn't have been using them continually since World War 2, Apache ring a bell. And the ship IS ready, we have 18 F35's so far not 8, 5 of them on the ship right now and more on the way, the pilots are either in training with the Americans or ready as well, the USMC already HAS plenty of planes and pilots completely ready to go to make up the numbers until we have enough of our own, and as for her 'weapons' she also has something called ESCORTS i.e. completely ready-to-go-already-for-carrier-groups destroyers, frigates and nuclear submarines, some of the best in the world, and plenty of patrol, support, minesweeper and amphibious assault vessels. What part of all that is "not even close to operational", yeah so she doesn't have 40 jets all in British markings with all British pilots lined up in neat rows on her deck and hasn't been officially declared to be fully operational yet, big deal

@kristianxoto anyone who thinks the Kusnetzov is a serious active, operational aircraft carrier, or the Chinese Liaoning for that matter should not be talking about tug-boats 😂

@kristianxoto as for 'hypersonic' or 'supersonic' missiles (A) well we DO have supersonic ones, and as for (B) the so-called 'hypersonic' sort guess the whole of NATO would be 'toast' too then lol as no-one except Russia and China, according TO Russia and China, actually has apparently successfully developed that so far, which given the technological and budgetary gap between them and NATO in every other department is pretty impressive. You'll excuse me if I don't take their word for it. Oh and (C), the faster you make a missile the harder it is to control or guide if your target isn't prepared to just sit there and take it, and there IS such a thing as countermeasures, i.e. flares and so on, along with C-WIS guns and variations on them, the new 'Sea-Ceptor' defensive missile, and of course the new laser defence technology being developed, including the British 'Dragonfire' system- I don't care how fast you make a missile it's not getting past one of THOSE

@kristianxoto I also never suggested helicopters were to be used as fighters, I was responding to YOUR ridiculous suggestion that they wouldn't count as an effective weapon for the aircraft carrier, or be able to actually do anything to protect it or attack others, you even said before they couldn't even attack land targets and provide close-in support, which as you just now said is exactly what they specialise in, something they are often in fact BETTER AT than any fighter jet and is kinda an important capability?! Queen Elizabeth will HAVE fighters to fight other fighters, the helicopters and her escorts are for handling everything else
1
@kristianxoto also what the fuck do you mean 'only' DDG? and YES 'escorts', we have the Type 45 Daring-class destroyer, the most powerful anti-air guided missile destroyer in the world, of which Queen Elizabeth will have TWO with her at all times in a standard battle-group, along with two Type 23 ASW/general-purpose frigates (soon to be replaced with the new and even more powerful Type 26 and Type 31) and at least one Astute-class attack submarine lurking somewhere below (just because you can't see something doesn't mean we don't have it), along with a wide variety of other patrol, support, amphibious warfare and mine-hunter ships. As for engine difficulties show me a navy that's never had those? We unlike the Russians or Chinese are at least admitting to and FIXING the problems as they arise though instead of denying or ignoring them
1
@lunamaria1048 well as far as I'm concerned if by that 'active' criteria Queen Elizabeth shouldn't be on here nor should half the other ships, ESPECIALLY that Russian scrapheap Kusnetzov
1
@daniellastuart3145 agreed
1
@kristianxoto you seem to have stopped replying, finally actually looked this stuff up properly and realised you'd been talking out of your arse this whole time did you?
1
@mrwolf9335 yep, and yet HMS Queen Elizabeth, almost as big as a Nimitz class doesn't even make it on the list, apparently due to not being fully 'ready for service'. How the hell does that Russian scrapheap make it in then
