The Type 45 isn't. Defects popped up again on the last one that was accompanying the QE and had to turn back.

And by the way, 65,000 tons is nothing for a modern commercial ship which often reaches 200,000 tons fully loaded.

I think we have deviated from my original point

My point was that commercial ship building is not necessarily a requirement for warship building

And that despite the UK not having any commercial shipbuilding it can still build aircraft carriers and nuclear submarines to the worlds highest standards because of its gene pool of knowledge and decades of experience

Japan, South Korea and China Account for building over 80% of the commercial shipbuilding trade in the world

none launched 2 x 65,000 Tons Carriers in 5 years like the UK did and all of them do have a carrier requirement

Look at the poor Russians, JSC one of the largest builders in the world couldn’t even manage a LHD had to buy from France, why ? Because they simply can’t build one

Of course commercial shipbuilding does overlap with warship construction

but it is not a pre-request

UK imported its carrier building equipment from China. It cannot build a carrier independently.
