Some really useless CVF stats

CVF will carry over 8,600 tonnes of fuel to support the Ship and her aircraft – enough for the average family car to travel to the moon and back twelve times.

The Flight Deck area is nearly 13,000m2 - the equivalent of 49 tennis courts or three football pitches.

The hangar is 29,000m3 - equivalent to 12 Olympic swimming pools.

The Ship's Long Range radar is the same size to that of a large mobile home.

CVF has two bronze propellers of 6.7m diameter, weighing 33 tonnes each - Nearly two & half times as heavy as a double decker bus and one & half times as high.

The ships anchors will be 3.1m in height, each weighing 13 tonnes - almost as much as a double decker bus.


To think that someone was paid to work all these out, just to save a Sun/Mail journo a few minutes of Googling
