The long anticpated UK Future Carrier arrives in Pompey for commissioning ceremonies. It's innovative design incorporating a "side by" propulsion system is a unique feature not found on less advanced designs. Work-up training at sea did surface some minor problems in launching aircraft due to the lack of conventional catapault systems. The Admiralty has been assured by the designers that the problems could be resolved by a minor modification to the existing vessel. MOD has authorized a design study to determine the viability of adding four steam catapaults, external elevators, and approximately Nine Hundred feet of length to hull and flight deck.
