surface to surface engagement will be rare thanks to VLS, which everyone's using to blow their air defence bubble. Maybe rail guns if they can make a damn barrel to work with more than 8 shots.

She'll sail to Portsmouth in early 2017.

First F-35 flights will be done by a British aircraft from the carrier are in 2018.

After that will be a matter of steadily ramping up every year with a lot of test deployments and exercises between UK and US.

24 British jets for a "normal" operational deployed airwing by 2023.

USMC have been invited over to also be on the carrier before and during that time to help it practice with greater on board numbers while deliveries are still incoming. (Captain Jerry Kyd has confirmed that depending on how much the USMC wants to send, we could see anything between 36 and "almost double that" F-35s on her at any given time, seems she can carry a shitload more than we thought originally.)

You'll see the planes on her soon. I can't wait for the visual.

The second one is almost structurally complete too. It'll be floated out very soon after the first leaves for Portsmouth.

I imagine, if the first deployment takes place in 2020, you may see one squadron of 12 British F-35s and 1-2 squadrons of 12 Marine F-35s (depending on if they want 24 or 36 aircraft). Then maybe one more like that, then by 2023 two British squadrons with maybe another Marine one for more numbers depending on circumstances.

Speaking of which, Japan theoretically just sold a dozen US-2's to the Indian Navy. $113 million per plane which is a pretty decent deal. For those unfamiliar it's a search and rescue amphibious air craft. Although I imagine the INS may use them for logistics as well.

The basic hull is the same, but everything else about the Chinese ship is different. China purchased the hull from Ukraine and then put in their own engine because the original hull lacked an engine.

Was there when this thing was launched, I'd read a lot about its stealth properties, composite this that and the other, special paint and so on.

I remember wanting to touch it, see it up close, so I just walked up and did. I was scratching the hull with my nails, feeling the surface texture of it and tapping it. After about 10 seconds one of the guys guarding it came up behind me with his weapon pointed at my feet and yelled I couldn't be there...

Seemed a bit extreme for a curious 15 year old but what do I know. Remains my only interaction with any kind of military to this day.

>>31766919

It's "welded on" because the ship is designed to be modular for catapults when the budget ever becomes available (Likely not anytime soon).

It being designed like that means it's very easy to remove, as you just take it off and thats it flat and ready. Just makes it a little ugly at the end of an otherwise fine looking ship.

Its to give a few parking spots along side the ramp, like on the old Invincible class and the Centaur class refits.

>>31768245
On this pic only the 3 first F-35 can get out of parking without needing to move the rest.

I hope for the RN it's just a pic with no respect for actual dimensions of the deck, or this spot won't be used much...
Litterally zero point to put these planes here instead of packing them in the hangar where obviously you have to pull out the first planes before getting those in the background out on the deck.

Yes, although that pic looks above average in volume. Its a combination of low quality fuel and a long over due engine overhaul.
The Indian carrier Vikramaditya has the same boilers and machinery, and burns clean.

Recommend me some literature on naval warfare. I always thought it was shitty and gay, but I've become interested in ships n things recently.

Is ship combat even a thing anymore?

>>31773591
You mean ships firing AShM at other ships? I thought even the US is returning to that somewhat with the distributed lethality shit?

That's because Vikramaditya got newly built engines during its conversion from Admiral Gorshkov in 2006. And so they are not only mere 10 years old, but also didn't enjoy decades of poor or lacking maintenance.

What do you want to know? I'd also strongly recommend staying away from /k/ until you've got a good grasp on the subject.

Since WW2 we haven't had a direct fight between blue water navies. The closest we came was the Falklands (the Argentines actually had some of the same ships as the RN), but they returned to port due to the threat of submarines after the ARA General Belgrano was sunk. Most other combat has involved small missile boats (like in the yom kippur war)

That said, in East Asia especially we are seeing a large quantity of large surface warships procured (especially by China), and disputes in the South & East China Seas. So who knows.

USN policy is to stay out of reach of shore based artillery and they are working towards being out of reach of shore based missiles. So ship to shore connectors. Their ships have to be transoceanic, so they are large and the material on board is valuable. An LST sunk in the last hundred meters from shore is a loss. Losing a much larger vessel could be a tragedy.

Additionally, grounding an LST may put it out of action. The RAN LST Tobruk was only beached once a year for traning as it then required docking to ensure its structural integrity.

Insightful and well thought comment, demonstrating a good level of critical thinking skills.

>>31775322

>Literally something that is completely fucking normal for allied countries

Rafales have operated off Nimitz carriers, British Harriers off of USN ships, American Harriers off British ships

>battleships will never ever make a come back
fuck carriers

>>31776445
Q:Why did battleships exist?

A:To deliver ordinance to targets, and to project power at sea while remaining difficult to sink

Q:How would a modern battleship ever be better than a carrier at doing any of that?

>>31777789
I don't care they look better

>>31777789
Quad turrets holding a single 200mm gatling EM cannon each?

And then slap on lots of anti air and anti sub capabilities for self protection.

Armor it to take a P-700+ and smile.

Give it the oomph to keep up with an at speed carrier.

So obviously it's nuclear powered.

Seeing the aircraft on the deck like that makes me nervous as fuck, I've always felt like they would just slide off

>>31781660
Nah, The aircraft have a cable attached to each of the landing gears... Theres a fuckton of attachment points on the deck of a carrier.

All frigates are mediocre. It kind of defines the class.

Pretty unusual for the poo loos

>>31772136
Jesus, is its reactor on fire? I don't remember hearing about it having a meltdown.

If they had a nuclear long range tug pulling it, would it count as a nuclear aircraft carrier?

>>31781174
There's people who pay money to go on funfair rides with less movement than that.
