  3. james brown Everyone knows the army has been cut but that’s not the reason for the RN guarding the queen as you said.

  4. sdnalyam What a constructive argument you present. The army are not neglecting any of its role by carrying traditions.

  6. max sid More men than women, using your theory every US carrier is a love boat.

  7. DAG058 If we made the F35 it would cost a lot more thanks to unions best to keep them abroad. Don’t forget a large chunk of the F35 is British.

  8. The RN have enough crew and escorts for the vessel.

  13. Bob Bob Care to explain why? You also imply that this is a fortune when I’m reality the cost makes up a tiny amount of the defence budget.

  14. Michael Mccluskey Many traditions carried out by the forces do not have a direct use to front line operations however there are so many indirect links.

  26. Alastair West The RIF RAF you must be joking.

  27. You have no idea do you. The carrier is not a "slow lumbering target" at all, any evidence of that? If you think Russia and Iran will try to hit our carriers then you have left the bounds of credibility with no evidence either.

  28.  @kennethhammond6683  No ship in the RN is a "slow lumbering" target. Any ship from any force would make great targets for any anti-ship missiles.

  29.  @kennethhammond6683  Ah the hypersonic missile, which no country has operational models of. Great argument there.

  33. If you keep up with defence news you would know that the RN will have one carrier at sea on operations at a time, this has been set in stone for years. The carriers were not built to create jobs at all, any evidence of this? You have no evidence to say that any carrier will be sold or mothballed. If they were elephants they would be grey elephants not white ones. We own 17 F35B's, all of which are fully operational with y of these taking part in overseas operational duties and the rest shadowing Russian aircraft when operational. The others are in America flying under British pilots until those are ready. QE has embarked F35B’s for the first part of air trials being successful and are now on stage 3. No aircraft carrier in the world, even the Americans don’t start with aircraft. The UK have just ordered another 17 with the overall total to reach 138. How about doing a bit of research instead of commenting a heap of lies with no credible evidence.

  39. Thomas Mortimore It does only take one yes but it’s not going to cause a second wave on a national scale, regional yes but not national.

  40. Are you stupid? We own 17 F35B's, all of which are fully operational with y of these taking part in overseas operational duties and the rest shadowing Russian aircraft when operational.

No aircraft carrier in the world, even the Americans don’t start with aircraft. The UK have just ordered another 17 with the overall total to reach 138. This has all been known for years, do you live under a rock?

  42. Not a white elephant at all. If it was to be mothballed it would be a grey elephant anyway.

  44. This isn’t the longest the crew will be away, no one has said this is it ‘no more than x months away’. What’s your point in the comparison? Deployments have always varied in length, regardless of vessel type for decades. If you can get more out of a crew through rotations or shorter more frequent deployments then it’s worth it.

  46. Templar Knight No, of course this isn’t designed to distract you. An odd assumption.

  47. Aaron Paul In the Royal Navy you are taught how to fight as the Royal Navy serve on land and sea, look at Afghanistan. This is not a deployment as you say it is. Navies from all around the world deploy on land, look at the Middle East. How uninformed can you get?
