Knocked up a rough comparison picture to illustrate the size of Big Liz:
It's a shame Lusty couldn't be retained long enough for an at sea handover picture at least. A great 'what if' moment.

Yes the last Ark Royal would have 32 years could to be in service and what stupidity have retired Sea Harriers in 2006 and very modernized Harrier GR9 in 2010, really I pity you for your politicians
In 4 years all retired and only helos for the last CV !!!
Maybe fault to 2008 economic crisis but even by reducing embarker fighter fleet It was probably possible to keep some squadrons saying 2- 3.

She is a beauty! Don't care what the Russian thinks or says.
Russia mocks Britain's new £3.1bn HMS Queen Elizabeth aircraft carrier saying it's a 'huge sitting duck'

There's nothing funny about that. With proper maintenance and an eye on there's nothing much better right now I might say.
I never had any problems with Windows XP myself, used it for about 8 years. But lets be clear here, the QECs do NOT run on XP in any way shape or form. They use a completely different operating system which is being rolled out across the entire fleet. The story came about because someone (a contractor) had their own laptop open in the background whilst being interviewed for a documentary a few years ago. Of course if you are a hacker and find XP systems easy to mess with, by all means go ahead and try to hack the carriers. You won't get very far...
The Ruskies are just sour apples because they cannot even build one...heck, they cannot even build and LHA for that matter.
They know full well that the Darings, the Type 23s, and the Astute submarines provide a strong defense for these carriers...much better than they can provide for their only carre, the Kuznetzov.
And they are mad because the Chinese now have two Kuznetsov type carriers...and the one they rebuild and commissioned in 2012 has now spent more time at sea and more exercises than the Russians spent in 25 years with the Kuznetsov.
Like I say...it's just sour apples.
