  1. Well (A) they already have other names anyway and (B) what happened exactly? HMS Invincible served with distinction, in the Falklands and elsewhere, and was never even damaged let alone sunk or destroyed, unless you count her eventually being sold off and scrapped?

  2. Why can't we? There's always gonna be some kind of frigate or destroyer watching over them while at sea, probably two or three plus submarines, supply & support vessels, patrol boats, minesweepers and of course aircraft of all kinds, both her own and land-based, and if they ever do find themselves outmatched they'll just call in more, not to mention our allies. There's also the fact Russia is still very much only a LAND power and frankly it always has been, as has China, oh they talk big but so long as America's around that isn't changing, especially with Nato. As for the other major threats frankly North Korea and Iran barely count as HAVING navies lol. All of the above also, again aren't exactly flush with allies, ones that DO have large, advanced & powerful fleets, we ARE. As it is even just ONE Type 45, along with a Type 23, an Astute-class sub and a squadron of F35's, all with highly-trained, well-motivated and professional crews, are more than a match for anything they're likely to come up against

  3.  @armageddonarmada6869  that's what they said about the Titanic 40 years before, after that people weren't so gullible. The only people who thought those battleships actually were invincible were idiots or fanatics, everyone who actually was involved in building them, served aboard them OR fought against them just thought of them with pride as fine, powerful ships, well-built and well-designed, or with grudging respect as mighty and worthy adversaries- but either way were under no illusions as to the fact they could be sunk in battle like any warship, one way or another, especially after battles like Tsushima or Jutland, and even more so by the time those ships actually saw combat in WW2. Besides, like that other commenter said I thought this was about them being NAMED as such rather than their just being proudly called it

  4. I wish, not got the money, barely had enough for these

  5. Well we are getting more F35's gradually and there'll be US Marine ones operating off her too
