I was told by a staff member in a military museum. The first carrier has endless issues about the engines. The second is a massive bath-tub containing rain water. That was this March.
It is my expectation, that the current 'Depression'(yes that is the correct term, not recession). Will reach it's perigee, or lowest point, sometime in 2014.
In conclusion, work will be stopped on the two carriers at this time.
As it was on the liners Queen Mary and Queen Elizabeth, during 1934.
