The uptakes can also create vulnerabilities, the third HMS Ark Royal was lost to a single torpedo hit in 1941, partly due to progressive engine room flooding through funnel uptakes.

By the way, having jets repeatedly snag arrestor wires at speed doesn't hurt propulsion any. They call it "Push and Drag".

Does the use of the catapult not decrease her forward speed......?..She hasn't got a catapult....?.. And the rearward blast from the aircrafts' jet engines...?

Not sure that is correct. Loch Ness and the other one connected to it connect the North Sea to the Atlantic, so Scotland is technically two islands.

Two islands? Scotland only two islands? Not even close - Isle of Skye, Isle of Wight, Isle of Sheppey, Anglesey, Shetlands, Lindisfarne, Orkneys etc etc etc

Because there are 2 Queen Elizabeth's?

One is Island of York, one is Island of Lancaster?

One Island is Mary Queen of Scots?

Boobs?

Three out of seven for geography. Not sure where etc etc etc is thou.

There's 6,000+ islands in GB and the majority are Scottish or scotch if you drunk.

Well you get 0 out of 10 for understanding the post - and a similar mark for spelling

One poster said that there were two islands in the UK - Great Britain and Northern Ireland - then the second poster said Scotland is two islands.

I referred to both posts - I quoted both in my answer - and said that neither was close. I then gave just an example of islands off England, Scotland and Wales. This was hardly meant to be a definitive list as I said etc etc at the end.

Are you suggesting I think Sheppey, Angelsey, Lindisfarne and Wight are off Scotland?
