More from the Telegraph...
Navy aircraft carriers not operational for 26 years - Telegraph

Sgt. Slabber that one is even more nuts than the previous sell-off story.

2020 - unless there has been a drastic realignment of the proposed F-35 production schedule that is actually the date as to when there should be enough F-35s (whatever version) available to form an airwing by which time HMS PoW should have finished sea trials and will be fully available itself. 2036 - erm is Lockheed Martin going to stagger deliveries to us until then, especially if there are only 40-60+ ordered. I doubt it. I think if we ordered all 138 as originally planned, the last aircraft would have been delivered around 2034, however.
