Aircraft Carriers III

Big Liz will be visiting the USA in 2018! Well the eastern seaboard, whether she pulls into harbour is another matter. Seems a bit of a lost opportunity if she doesn't stop off for a few days. Any nominations for which port you'd like to see her in? New York? Norfolk? Mayport?

I've watched a number of videos on youtube over the last few years where an American correspondent interviews an RN officer regarding the QECs and whilst they always graciously acknowledge the innovations we have made that the USN uses (Steam Catapults, Angled Decks, Mirror/Projector Sights, Radar, The Aircraft Carrier itself!) they always seem to get hung up on the 'two islands' thing. Well it looks like y'all get a chance to see it first hand and see for yourself!

The way things are going Big Liz may well start and finish her sea trials before Ford does! :-O

I watched the video in the twitter link and...

Looks like the Russians on the flight deck have an aversion to safety equipment. No life vest, helmets or goggles..And I've stated this previously the flight deck on the ADM"K" looks like slow motion.

Those Su-33's are some big beautiful aircraft.

Well most Americans outside of the defense industry and military know very little about the US military . let alone a foreign military.

That's ok....I still don't understand the need for two islands..

Obi wan have you ever visited skyscrapercity? they have several threads that would interest you! SSC is by far the largest forum on the internet.

Yes Sir, has to remind you of the TomKat doesn't it??? Big beautiful, full figured girls with her curves in "all the right places", built like a brick outhouse, she has all the right moves. The Russian fighter I love the "mostest", my change to the T-50??? may not!
