Have You noticed the removed plates stored behind the wholes in the deck - ready to reweld them when the replacement of the arresting gear is finished?

HMS Astute I would suggest adding in descriptions for your posts random pics don't mean much and actually mislead
The first is a picture of the RN configured Queen Elizabeth Class using STO and vertical landing the second picture is the old picture of Prince of Wales in CATOBAR configuration which has been scrapped in favour of STO and vertical landing
Both carriers will be using short take off and vertical landing no cats and traps now

yeah but it's uncertain if the UK will procure more 48 F-35s -- according to
and
-- that's what I found a moment ago using google, apologize if an order has been actually placed for more or something
Re: QE Class Former and Current Design
The UK will not be employing catapaults or trap wires on either of the QE carier, which is what all of the rest of those pics show.
Too bad, IMHO, using the F-35C and the cats and traps would allowed for more capability, and more ability to cross deck with the US.
But that is water under the bridge now...and the two carriers as they are, with the F-35Bs will be a significant assett for the ROyal NAvy for decades to come.
Dated pics Astute, only the first half of the 1st one is accurate.
