Russia builds 'unstoppable' 4,600mph missile that could destroy Royal Navy's new carriers
Anti-ship cruise missile flies more than twice the speed of a sniper’s bullet and could sink sophisticated warships in a single strike

These ships served no purpose other than to make the military industrial complex types rich so they can afford to go live somewhere else that's nice and has less taxes.
Now, if they coat the war head in cobalt, the whole local area and any ships it contains will be contaminated by radiation and that will be the end of that.
"4600 mph" missiles can't go 4600 anywhere near sea level or they burn up/melt into aluminium goo. They go 4600 way up in the upper atmosphere where they can be seen by half the world and say LOOK AT ME!! I'M HERE!!
It is a propaganda weapon, at best.
It's the same age as the oldest American carriers but the Russian one is a couple of generations behind them.
Steam turbine propulsion is from Grandad's time ..... my time.
The French are the same with their only carrier, the Charles de Gaulle. It keeps breaking down.
Britain's new carriers are cutting edge in that they require a smaller crew than the American ones.
It's nuclear powered, flies the advanced Rafales, uses catapults and is decades ahead of that clunky Russian tub.
The Queen Elizabeth-class carriers will probably spend some of there time covering for the Charles de Gaulle when she makes one of her frequent scuttles for the dry-dock in Toulon.
Only one will ever sail at a time.
The French need at least one more so that they are always able to have one available, all the time. A single carrier navy doesn't work. That is the issue.
A single anything Navy doesn't work.
Ummm that's because they know how to sink all you dummas without an antique carrier.
Duh.mah.
Yes it is and it is true of every navy, everywhere. Even in the depths of war, only part of a fleet is at sea at any given time.
I thought you said that you were in the Navy?
Couldn't have been the Royal Navy.
Switzerland?
They call you old timers "sailors" for a reason
You are not of these times at all and that of course is the same old military stupidity that always gets many killed.
It is what we've come to expect of course from you notsees though.
LOL, just add water and place in microwave...then bury the remains in the back yard.
Face it YORGIE: You obviously want as many enemy sailors as possible unprepared for your sneak attack.

"both carriers are likely to be commissioned and may even be capable of operating together"

Only for photo ops ...
Sorry,I should say for one photo op. They will scrape together 1x Type 45, five Type 23s on their way to the breakers and an oiler together for a beauty shot, then the carriers will only see each other in Portsmouth and their escort screen will have lots of Dutch, Danish, Spanish, German ... and occasionally Canadian (they sail with the Yanks, these days) frigates and destroyers screening them.
