Looks like no Rest For The Wicked..
QE has been raked sorry tasked to the Arctic
https://ukdefencejournal.org.uk/hms-...sport-mission/
quote says “The new carrier was returning from recent trials with F-35 jets but it’s understood that she is being redirected for this mission. The vessel is being deployed to act as an emergency landing option should the cargo aircraft require its usage and the loading of provisions”
I know some will be rubbing their hands with glee cos thinking that magically overnight the QE will have CASTOBAr and can secretly take a C-2COD lol
I suspect anyhow Rudolf be proud to touch his skids in deck...
In all seriousnes if in extreme circumstances emergencies, could our new flagship take on say a troubled F/A-18E/F / EA-18G or even an E-2/C-2 ( probably with a lot of nets and stuff but could not re launch).
cheers
