UK Military News, Reports, Data, etc.

According official sources first CCV is gonna enter service by early 2030, but people like Alex Clarke have calculated that based on British shipyard building speed that’s basically impossible timeline, and he calculated that 2035 is probably more realistic servicendate for the first CCV.

Some people suggests they could be building first CCV secretly but I find it very unlikely.

Surprise, existing Type 31 order = CCV.

Mission Bay = AAW Module.

No, they couldn't possibly be that dastardly, could they?

(The 2030 date clearly reflects some sort of misunderstanding: the RN won't need to start replacing the Type 45s until the late 2030s anyway. Not that that actually gives them a lot of time to develop a substantially new design -- with Type 83 reportedly scrapped, an evolved Type 31 looks very likely.)

Save the Royal Navy, Count Binface!
