British goverment take note - maybe it would be a good idea to get the French to build our carriers - then there's a chance we'll get them before 2020! Grin

The French have had their fair share of problems with that boat. The most embarassing being that it was made a little too short... Shocked

It does have as distinct advantage over HMS QE and HMS PoW (how unfortunate - I hadn't noticed that before...)...

They'll be good when they get here, but for now we're stuck with those effing pathetic 'through deck cruisers'; Ark Royal (which the queen would never show her face on), Illustrious (or would have been 50 years ago) and Invincible (I'd like to see it go up against a Nimitz-class-carrier... then we'd see whether she was invincible).

Cynic rant over Wink

When I saw the Illustrious at Norfolk, she was berthed near the USS Eisenhower (1,092 ft (333 m) and 101,000 to 104,000 tons full load) did look sort of small compared to her. My son got a kick out of the ski slope deck on her though. He use to be on the USS Wasp (LHD-1). The Wasp is 844 feet 844 ft (257 m) long and her displacement is 40,532 tons full load. The Illustrious is 194 m and 20,600 tons. Both carry Harriers, but the Wasp also carries LCACS (Landing Craft, Air Cushion).

Imagine what the new UK carriers are gonna be like; 68000 tons (or thereabouts) and with ski ramps. Lookin' forward to them!

Haha I love LCAC's, it's like riding a roller coaster because they just jump over waves instead of cutting through them.  We ride them when we do amhibious assault exercises on shore, and out here in Hawaii the waves are HUGE haha wheeeeee  Cheesy

Since she was decommisioned in 2005 I think Nimitz would find her a sitting duck! Grin Wink Having said that, the RN website says she's actually at a very low state of readiness (yep, funny that, as in the sentece before they said she was decommisioned! Cheesy) and could be available until 2010 (the rust will be too bad by then!) Smiley

She'd be a sitting duck at battle-readiness, let alone sitting uncrewed in port rusting... Roll Eyes

I really can't wait for the UK's new carriers, in the preview images they look superb!
