Parole - Tithe.

My wife's birthday, so we're going out to eat at her favorite Mexican restaurant.

Which one? Most "Mexican" restaurants around here are really Texmex. There are a few notable exceptions.

A lot of the places around here offer both Mexican and Tex-Mex. Some of my favorites are the Tex-Mex variety...like fajitas.

Tex-Mex is good too. I prefer to make my own fajitas, but a good chile relleno....yum.

best texmex is in san antonio

Good news for your re-union group. USS America will live again. Unfortunately as a LHD (LHD-9 to be exact) instead of a CVN, as the name so richly deserves. I wonder what they will name Enterprise , when CVN-65 is retired in a couple of years? A YP?

A gator freighter, huh? I guess it's better than the current, "reef class" ship that carries the name.

It's the march of time old boy. HMS Queen Elizabeth and HMS Prince of Wales have been ordered, but as CVs instead of BBs. However, the government have only ordered 6 of the new destroyers which are suppossed to escort them

There had been a very strong movement to name the Next CVN America, but Gerald Ford's death pre-empted that.
And this "gator freighter" will carry 20+ F-35's.

True, but the RN's not building many battleships these days , and previously those names did belong to ships of the line.

I also wonder how the EU feels about it's member states having ship types with agressive sounding names like "destroyers"? I wonder if the European navies will re-classify such ships as "Large Frigates" or "Large Escorts" . Sort of like "Through-decked cruisers".

**** 'em

I've heard all sorts of rumours about these carriers, mostly so bloody stupid they're unbelievable. We'll be sharing the actual carriers with the Froggies for example

How does that work? They run the mess decks while we run the fighting bits?

There'll be JSF when QE enters service though, it'll be the carbon fibre death providers for a while. Hopefully I'll dodge that, Floggin the Oggin is not for me

As an aside, has anyone else noticed how ugly ships are getting these days?

Yeah , but from a radar-cross-section point of view, they are beautiful. Maybe I have no poetry in my soul, but I'd rather sail in a less attractive , but stealthy ship than a beautiful ships that's also a missile magnet! I'd love to the the Sea-wraithe proto-type put into service.

carbon fibre death providers???

And I must say , that having the French run the mess decks isn't a bad idea. As long the Brit's run the ships pub!

I thought that the French were going to simply buy a sistership instead of riding on yours?

They could always get rid of the ramp, replace it with catapults and arresting gear and buy the USN version of the F-35 , instead of the RN/USMC vesion . That would give them all-around superior performance.

They are being built for catapults and arrestor gear, but not with them. IIRC they are being built as STOVL carriers, but will later be converted to a more conventional operation. I think the French design will have cats and wires.

EDIT: I wonder if it'll be possible to operate F-35s off of the Invincibles should they stay around for a bit longer?
