Not built with it, only fitted as a stop-gap until Illustrious was in service. Should never have lost it's catapults, arrestor gear and 3D Radar and retained it's ability to operate Buccaneers either if you ask me.

Re: Queen Elizabeth Class Aircraft Carriers - News and Discussion
Reads to me like another piece of F-35 bashing. Besides the F-35C isn't supposed to be the Fleets primary air defence fighter, and I am not sure but I do not think fighter sweeps are one of the primary day 1 or 2 mission profiles for the platform either. Also I thought the F-35 could "Super Cruise" but may be not. Either way how often do aircraft actually use their after burners and go full tilt past Mach 1. Saying that the limitation appears to be only at very high altitude. As for BVR engagements, things have moved on a lot form Vietnam and so on and has become far more accepted. The issue going forward could well be will you be able to see your opponent before thing get to WVR.

I'm sure I read on twitter that hms Queen Elizabeth was going to sail past the round tower about 1230 tomorrow for a few weeks for more helicopter trials including Apache but the tweets gone now...

QE's FULL departure from Portsmouth, (55 minutes long!) using the HMS Warrior webcam! Skip the first 15 minutes. ^
Also, a timelapse as seen from the Spinnaker Tower:

She's built for a purpose for which I have no doubt will be excellent but a good looking ship she is not. Sorry just my opinion.Rambo wrote:She is.. but i think she'd look far better with a single (longer) island and no ski jump.Lord Jim wrote:Damn she is a good looking ship.

Might be visiting Cape Cod at some point later in the year then! Cod from under the waves and COD from the air!

Seriously though, when I saw her with a Wokka on board it was quite surprising how small they looked on deck, I guess only the fortunate few who have been on her flight deck can realise how big she really is.
