@Hunterr1 @TBrit90 You're erroneously comparing a small British carrier's issues with a massive American carrier which is 10X the capability and complexity of a QE Class carrier.

@MRP896761852386 @TBrit90 As for small carrier attemot at dumbing down...which didnt work......UK QEC meet the definition of super carriers. Apart from the US need for cats, take that off the front and UK carriers are same size as US decks...... funny that

@MRP896761852386 @TBrit90 So This doesn't mean anything like your trying to portray. One flood happened. In 1st of class ships this is nothing. Look at G Ford. She had lots of problems much more substantial to her ops. But they will get there in time after another refit. In comparison QEC have done well

@Hunterr1 @TBrit90 they've both broken down multiple times (shaft issues) and on one occasion on the way to the US for an exercise, got as far as the IOW. I won't mention the flooding crisis or losing a 100M F35 because failure to remove an engine cover. Lots of issues with design and operations.

@MRP896761852386 @TBrit90 The carriers have been one of the few success stories. Its not their fault the escort plan is crazy. Thats the treasury and governments

@TBrit90 The RN QE Class carriers have been a waste of money, an excercise in pride & arrogance. Not enough planes on their flight decks & no RN escorts to protect them. Outdated design reliant on RFA oilers, USMC loaner F35's and begged-escorts from EU navies. Sad state of affairs.

It is clear now what has happened for the ceasefire to breakdown today between the US-IRAN: In order -US launches naval ships to protect shipping cross strait of Hormuz with fighters, several ships are intercepted by small boats and fired upon. -US airforce starts hitting Iranian small boats in retaliation and one trying to fire upon ships -Iran begins launching missiles toward the Gulf and attacking more boats, US airforce and navy now engaging targets.
