Why does the carrier have 2 'conning towers'? |

Not like it used to be back in the olde days. At least it had jets on board, instead of just helos or Red Bull Flugtag contestants. |

The funny thing is that the 4 British escorts represent a whopping 25% of the THE WHOLE British surface combatant fleet and anywhere up to half to two thirds of the operational ships (ie excluding ships in maintenance or in training/working up). Good luck sustaining that over time especially as number of actual combat capable surface vessels will drop to 14 over time (6 x Type 45 + 8 x Type 26, the 5 Type 31s will be large OPVs with no combat capabilities).
And the combat power carried on this cruise is pathetic too – 14 F-35s of which only 6 are British. No AEW&C or aerial tankers either.
It all reeks of sad propaganda especially recent speculation about F-35 buy being halved and slashing of tank and tracked IFV fleets. |
