Please don't shoot the pigeon. I had a look at the uk aircraft carriers but couldn't find the new ones which are being built. Is it because they are still being built and won't be active inthe near future? If I missed them I'm sorry.

And there is a serious issue with the magazine contents of the class.

We, the UK, do not use cluster munitions any more.
There are no slots for AMRAAMs
The SRAAMs would be AIM-132 not obsolete AIM-9L
PAVEWAY II's would be III's

The loadouts for the F-35B are so out of kilter with the ship intended to operate them, you could not use them at all

Who ever built it copied the contents of the 'Ark' - oops

No reason not to use them in your scenario, though, you can change the magazine loadout to something more realistic!

Yeah doh forgot that. Lol.

I'm impressed they are in.

By the way which version are they as the government kept changing it's mind whether to have catapult or not.

Granted, but it should be fixed because it is a blatant error and a more realistic load out would take a long time to set up and would only be relevant to that instance of the ship (with the underlying DB carrying the error).

Logged a ticket to have it looked at. We can update but right now its still speculative as the ships aren't in service yet and the air group loadouts haven't been established. So not really sure too many delta's are worth it especially when you can easily add records yourself. We'll take a look though and make any changes that make sense. If anybody has any links to good sources please do post.

Thanks!

Mike

As the government kept changing its mind and penny pinching. Are they catapult capable or not?

Just been looking into these new carriers I found out that there were proposals to build some big carriers in the 60's designated CVA-01 as again politicians cancelled this project. Not important at the moment it would be nice to have these in the database.

A question to our resident Royal Navy person as at the moment we don't have any carriers how are we keeping up our carrier based training? Obviously over time skills are lost.

I imagine that we send people off to train with the Italians, French, Spanish and Americans. Or maybe we just don't don't bother. Both scenarios are possible.

They're training with US Marine Pilots.

Thanks for that mike sounds like they have ground crew there as well. I was wondering also operating a carrier requires, obviously experience in working in that environment. Now I know we have our helicopter carrier so I suppose some of our experience will still be kept going with that. But carrier operations are different I'm just concerned of the gap between scraping our old carriers and the time when we eventually get the newer larger carriers. Also where will they operate from and will these ports need upgrading?
I find this subject very interesting.

Several US carriers have visited Portsmouth over the years, so they'll be no issue with these smaller carriers. Truth be told we haven't had a proper carrier since Ark Royal (as in the old Ark Royal).

Yes I was just reading about her. I just cannot understand the logic in scrapping our carriers before getting the new ones.

I think its clear the that the UK mod took some major cuts and gaps in capability to fund the future more or less.Sign of the times unfortunately.

I kind of liked the UK strategy here... While the US is still a strong ally, take advantage of the opportunity and invest in the future... The US seems to be ebbing a little and when it hits a critical level, I think the UK will have its shields back up...
