  1. Yes, the US carriers are larger, better protected, have better force projection capabilities, and are designed to be integrated with all of the latest weapon and defensive systems. yes, the QE is smaller and uses somewhat outdated technologies (non nuclear propulsion and lacks directed energy weapon capabilities,) but Britain doesn't need a whole fleet of massive floating fortresses. Britain is a smaller nation with powerful allies, and usually refrain from becoming entangled in a large number of wars, and their ship was designed less for projecting huge amounts of force across the globe, and more for defending their interests in a select few high value regions. The reduced range of the non-nuclear propulsion, the smaller aircraft capacity, and the comparatively basic weapon systems are acceptable for a vessel belonging to a country in the UK's position.
