Word is that the RN has put out an urgent request to suppliers of solar panels for quotes to fit the T45 fleet.

The good news is that the new carriers have plenty of surface to cover in panels. The fact that once covered with panels they won't be able to launch/recover aircraft isn't a problem, as the F35s are so shot with software issues it's unlikely they will ever fire a shot/drop anything in anger.
