Isnt the size of that superstructure contrary to stealthy design, hence allowing detection from a much larger range by attacking A/C? IE if the enemy are in range, then so are you.
Stealth is far stranger than that, so i'm sure BAES know what they're up to...
Wikipedia claims 75mile range on the ASTER 30 so that's still probably enough.
Some of the systems developed for the T45 will end up in CVF. SAMPSON comes to mind.
Hmmm... I suspect the RN would like that to happen, but it's not really needed, especially if you've got a T45 kicking around. Part of the reason CV(F) has been delayed so long is that the RN want a carrier with loads of aircraft AND Command, control, PAAMS and anything else they can think off.. oh and all for £2.50
