163627, you need to be careful how you view QE class carriers. They may be nearly 3 times the size of the Invincible class but they're still not Nimitz size and the concept of ops is far different.
The current plan is for QE to carry 12 F35s plus a mix of helos. This makes it a jack of all trades (master of none?) not a "strike carrier" as you might imagine. Personally I think it's probably the right way to go.
By state of the art C2 I assume we are dreaming about QE, not Invincible class!!!
Orca - I agree, especially about the sea shy, although I think you are being quite generous to many at the Cdr / Wg Cdr level, that seems to be the rank where they turn and become politicians and few resist!
