Future Carrier (Including Costs)
Windows XP - is this a Daily Fail nonsense or do we have a problem? Any experts out there who can elucidate?

The flight deck is the size of three football pitches... the hangar deck is the size of 12 Olympic swimming pools.
The football pitch comparison is boringly obvious, I suppose, but as few people have actually visited an Olympic swimming pool how about a more useful comparison?

Olympic swimming pools
Double decker buses
Wales
So you could say it's one millionth the size of Wales, but that's hard to visualise. I suppose you could say it's big enough to park 200 (or however many) double decker buses, but that's only really useful to people who work in bus depots...
Watching here from Japan where they have recently launched two large submarine-destroying helicopter carriers, this new British aircraft carrier looks cool, a huge statement to the world.
Problem is, there are only four units of measurement suitable for use in newspaper articles such as this one:

The football pitch comparison is completely acceptable IMO, I can't see the problem meself. Even football widows have watched the kids play, so can visualise based on that.

Nelson's column? Would even be appropruately navalish.
There's also the thickness of a human hair, though that's even less useful for measuring aircraft carriers than the size of Wales...

Nonsense - but never let truth get in the way of the Fail trying to ruin a good news day for the Royal Navy.
The Times, BBC, Sky, and the Telegraph all also reporting Windows XP, so it must have come from somewhere.
