The wardroom carpet is green, btw.

Yeah, we read the Twitter too

You should have shared it then, lazy colonials

Looks like "open outer doors" took on a whole new meaning on that boat

Yes

An American is a Brit with their brains removed. just while we're doing analogies.

You lot don't have a clue about Scotland, I managed to sit in my garden 7 times this summer! Bloody luxury :twisted: Best try a different location if you want to sit in your garden more often, might I suggest Darwin in the winter for an average around 24-30 still warm enough to open a long neck.

ACA engineer who has just rejoined QE and has not been on her since Invergordon, has just stated the ship is far more RN than ACA now, its gleaming. Unfortunately the snagging list is extensive and there appears to be a race on to get her ready for the next sea trials. Unfortunately one of the items...

He's now playing politician, he tells us nothing and he's against a two tier frigate fleet. There's a great video on YouTube where's he's addressing an American think tank in Washington when he was 1SL and states he would rather have less ships that are capable, than a large escort fleet of non cred...

Boat trip to the dockyard today in Plymouth. 3 Type 23's all with Artisan, HMS Scott, HMS Bulwark and 2 Trafalgars. However tour guide said that Bulwark might be sold to Brazil and Plymouth may not host ships anymore. I queried Bulwark sale and said Ocean instead but the boy seemed to know what he w...

thanks for posting.

When I see Charley all dolled up in his Admiral of the Fleet uniform, I am reminded of the saying "born on 3rd plate and thinks he hit a triple". I'm sure there's a Brit equivalent. Not really we speak English over here!!! :twisted: On American TV, Scottish speakers have subtitles :-) Whe...

None of us on this thread knows what the final specs will be, honestly you'd think we just reinvented the shite from the 60's and 70's. The RN says it will have war fighting capabilities, that's good enough for me just now and if it means 5-10 T31's launched with he haw but fitted out to high end la...

The BBC are reporting that Sea Ceptor will be used on the QE class!!!! Fake news????

Must admit they're cutting it a bit fine installing Artisan for the naming ceremony. I'd like to think it'll be on POW for then.

I was thinking about the Osprey tanker there and I'm sure I read that her tank carries only 13,000 lbs of fuel. Adding about 200 miles to the combat radius of a pair of F35. however if I'm nearly right then quite clearly the Cobham pod is the most effective solution all round, namely cost. That doe...

I was thinking about the Osprey tanker there and I'm sure I read that her tank carries only 13,000 lbs of fuel. Now the Dave B carries 13,000 lbs of fuel, when it gets its proposed drop tanks that's a further 8000 lbs of fuel. Assuming that a buddy buddy pod will take up one of the 'wet' hard points...

Nuclear reactors
Harrier jump jets
Angled deck

One island removed as nobody else is doing it so it must be wrong.
Navalised typhoon
Navalised Grippen

I think that just about covers all the crap from over the years I've heard.

Jake lad you've made your point lets move on, remember dyslexics of the world untie.

Hovematlot the other signal says PAPA ROMEO JULIETT. The port destination PRINCESS ROYAL JETTY.

@Hovematlot what do the signal flags on the starboard side of the fore island say?

That's at the side mate, I'm talking about the one facing the bow at the front.
