Everyone knows that Third worlder`s cant defeat a first nation military in open combat. They have to use guile instead of strength to win, it worked in Vietnam and Afghanistan and it would have worked on the Falklands islands. Argentina should have smuggled immigrants over and outbred the native brits, then called for referendum. But noo they had use their shiny toys rigth there and then.

Can't we just use Blanka? Guile is for Americans only.

to be fair the scrapped argentine carrier (assuming it had gotten modernised lol) was less retarded than the HMS Prince of Walesdid you know it's more obese than 50 olympic swimming pools and HRH the PoW combined? britannia rules the sea, citizen since it actually had an angled flight deck and a catapult to launch real planes.

The funniest thing is that the US learned the whole steam catapult configuration from the Royal Navy in the fifties. Sixty years later nobody in Britain knew how to design or make them, so we've gone backwards. Still, we can blame Rolls-Royce doing no R&D work for the fact they aren't nuclear.

No and as a result Taiwan can't even really rescind its claim to sovereignty over he mainland because that would be a provocative act lmbo

china and taiwan pretend really hard they actually own the other and iirc china said they'd turn taiwan into a parking lot if taiwan became its own country instead of continuing to claim it should own all of mainland china

quote:

The Ministry of Defence decided not to use nuclear propulsion due to its high cost, so power is supplied by two Rolls-Royce Marine Trent MT30 36 MW (48,000 hp) gas turbine generator units and four Wärtsilä diesel generator sets (two 9 MW or 12,000 hp and two 11 MW or 15,000 hp sets). The Trents and diesels are the largest ever supplied to the Royal Navy, and together they feed the low-voltage electrical systems as well as four GE Power Conversion's 20 MW Advanced Induction Motor (arranged in tandem) electric propulsion motors that drive the twin fixed-pitch propellers.

What, save a ton of cash on a defence procurement and drive around the world in a knock-off frog carrier? I don't think you understand the military-industrial complex here.

The new UK carriers have been built without catapaults so they can only use the F-35B. They're never going to be anything better than floating targets.

Made in the UK though!
