Folks - there's some missing knowledge/thought about the bigger future issues here. We are now/will be in the "Effects" generation process. The CVF is only one (big) piece of that puzzle. The idea...

Ordering only 2 carriers mean not fighting any one who is going to fight back.

Politicians absolutely call the shots - no question. (My goodness, we agree on something.)

France, Spain, Italy, India, Brasil, oh and us - all countries who will never engage an enemy with any...

FF - come on now, your line of attack in this thread has been rather misinformed, based around the foundation that "carriers are rubbish- let's bolster the RAF." To say this is a facile, inaccurate...

FF - there, there. I notice you chose not to actually answer. Quite right, rise above it.

What were the criteria for posting in the Military Aircrew forum again?

But enough petty...

P'Lard - Sea Basing is one of the fundamentals upon which we will operate. It's written in to all the UK doctrine and you can expect to see way more emphasis on it in future - not just for keeping...

Carriers are limited and when ''money is to tight to mention' become less viable.

FF - I'm interested in how you would prefer the restructuring of HM's Armed Forces to go?

If not a carrier based strike capability then what? We could abandon the idea and form a Dutch style Navy...

SAS - concur, but the US is keeping the peace on a global scale, whereas the Brit/French level of ambition is much lower. We know our place (sort of!).

JTIDS - absolutely!

But seriously,...

When was the last time a RN carrier operated indepedently against a credible force?

Apart from say, 1982? Which was, if I'm not mistaken, the last time since WW2 that any carrier had been under a genuine threat from ashore. (I guess some would argue Gulf 1)

What exactly is the...

A carrier is a detterent on it's own, but thats about it.

FF - What a gross and poorly informed understatement. As you are probably aware, the same restrictions on hang-ups apply to the jets today and we've managed deepwater/no HN support ops perfectly...

Cancel CVF???!!! Gents, the world has moved on considerably. We are now structuring our Armed Forces around an expeditionary, littorally capable, mission-tailored force. The whole shebang has to be...
