Some 9 - 13 billion £s to get the ship tto this stage of development. Many old warriors on board, at the tail end of their careers, engaged in training. Not enough young, enthusiastic 'replacements' being trained. Cost being a major reason, as a fighter pilot is in the millions bracket now, (with each aircraft costing nigh on a hunfred million) these days, compared to a few decades ago, let alone the 1930s and 1940s. Empty Treasuries in Britain and America for these modern Navies.
Many of the worlds militaries do not have an up-or-out system like ours does. I served with Dutch officers who finished their careers as first lieutenants. No shame or stigma. They don’t move around as much and if his position at that base was at that rank, that’s where he stayed.
@@David-nx2vm I know of someone who served in the IDF [Israely Defence Force] entered as 'private' exited after 22 yr as 'private'. not sure how that works.

Think if did the UK haved the HMS QE at when did the Falklands War happened! Even with still only the jumping jets they would haved chopped up the Argentine Air Force be caused of the superior air spaces control and RADARs and how many more of jumping jets they could haved too.
At 22:17 they talk about 'cables'' [one-tenth of a nautical mile or approximately 100 fathoms] and meters [depth] ... and speed in knots. Fascinating how they can interweave Imperial and metric systems and run a ship. Mind you that ship was built before Brexit, e.g. Maybe that was GB's concession to join the EU, one foot in Europe and one in Britain. Good to see that Gunther Preen quote: "that magnificent German U-boat commander' unquote steeled into Scapa flow and sank two ships. [lying in 33 m a few cables away] The other point to consider that the 8 billion [pound?] carrier can be taken down with all hands on deck with ONE Chinese hypersonic missile.
yes, I noticed that the "Nazi" Gunther Preen turned into "that magnificent German U-boat commander". Having said that, all those people on all sides did what they were ordered to do or face the firing squad or the concentration camp. Refusal was not an option as much as a dead hero is not an accolade for the dead.
Shocking weapons training, (rifles), I would have got a kick up the jacksy for that, and a right bollocking. I know as I did boarding party training whilst in the RN.
The carrier replaced the big gun battleships of the late 1800s. Why? Because the aircraft was invented. The battleship is just a means of delivering ordnance. Even the primitive aircraft of the early 1900s had more range and accuracy than the big guns. Now, guided missiles have replaced aircraft. The high command, never having fought a first world opponent since WW2, has yet to realize this.
Look at the USS Gerald Ford. This is like a kitten vs a tiger. I am a dual citizen with British pride. But it can't launch a dozen F-22 Raptors in minutes. We (my other country) should just gift the UK like five of our old Nimitz class with maybe an LA class submarine for each one and the US's old Aeigis air defense destroyers. Joe Biden are you hearing?
Not likely my Friend. The Nimits Class carriers retired are likely to be turned into Marine Amphibius Units. Even as old as the Nimits is, she has at least 20 more years left to het days on the Sea. You ma have to stand in line, as an Australian wants her too. They can't afford to scrap her, with the troubles scrapping the U.S.S. Enterprise costing so much. So, the Nimits will probably end up in the "mothball" fleet with her nuclear cores removed, sealed up and filled with nitrogen to preserve her. I'd love to see her as a museum ship, the first of her class shouldn' t ever be scrapped. We shall see!
@@lomgshorts3 I was on the Enterprise briefly. While your analysis is likely correct, that thing is impressive beyond belief. It was my own country's ship and I was scared.
Oh yeah? And who the fuck is going to man them? There aren't enough humans in the British armed forces to man 4 or 5 additional carriers requiring a complement of up to three or 4000 per ship.

You should have kept the old carriers in service, four is always better than just two. A month or two in drydock to clean the old girls up and they would serve you very well. Old is not bad. We still have the U.S.S. Texas, a WWI battleship as a museum ship, and I am astonished at HMS Victory being taken such good care of - amazing!

the UK has many carriers, but that's just the newest, not to mention all the 30 decommissioned carriers that can be recommissioned in case of emergency, the UK likes getting rid of its toys way too much, but the UK does NOT have a shortage of carriers.
here's a thought!!! since aircraft carriers are so expensive to buy & operate, consider this . . . a private security & defense conglomerate offers to lease an entire naval task force to the RN for 5 yrs at a lease cost of €6.7 Bn!!! the naval task force on lease will comprise of two state-of-the-art 124,000 ton (138,000 ton - 146,000 ton) stealth super carriers (CTOL / CATOBAR) powered by bio fuel cell & i-HYBRID marine propulsion system!!! this new cutting edge fuel electric propulsion system will make expensive nuclear powered aircraft carriers a thing of the past!!! the (CTOL / CATOBAR) super carrier will be built & designed using a new state-of-the-art digitized fusion naval (design) architecture!!! a private funded R&D on future naval warship design language especially conceived to build & design large efficient super carriers!!!
Not necessarily, Lockheed Martin (the company that makes the F-35) licensed to a company in the UK to manufacture F-35's locally, it's quite common for countries to lease technology for other countries to be manufactured locally if these countries are allies, take the American M2 Bradley for example, it is manufactured in the USA under a license from the British company BAE Systems.
9:20 This part really annoyed me. The sneering superiority and judgment she demonstrates when an older man (in a decades old interview no less) is openly and honestly articulating his thoughts. Feminists want all the benefits and advantages of “equality” without any of the disadvantages or obligations of said equality. For example, they complain women weren’t ALLOWED to join the military until recently, but they’re so myopic and selfish they fail to see that for thousands of years men have been conscripted into the military against their will, and shipped off to foreign lands by the millions to fight and kill and bleed and die. Men have never had the CHOICE that women now have. Can you imagine the furor if women were suddenly conscripted into the army and they had no CHOICE? Virtually every society since the beginning of time has treated males as the disposable sex. It is men we throw into war. It is men who do the dirtiest, most dangerous jobs. Men are expendable. Women are what society has always protected. Women take this protected status for granted and feminists sneer at this and deliberately twist it into some kind of oppression, ignoring that men have always been disposable. Women always demand empathy from men, for men to see the world through a woman’s eyes. Yet this favor (demand, really) is never reciprocated. In fact, most women don’t even see a man’s perspective as being valid or legitimate. Which is how you get this young woman sneering and judging the older man (like she’s grading him on a wokeness exam) rather than trying to understand him.
Yup. Unfortunately Britain can't afford to develop such a system on its own. And I feel confident in saying, that were we able to afford to, it would be a superior system to the Americans. British innovation and design are amongst the greatest in the modern world.
The Forestal Class Carriers disp Kim aced 65k tons, and had a 1k ft angled deck. The Enterprise displaced 95k tons and had a 1100 ft angled flight deck. This ship is tiny by American standards. And slow. Its incapable of outrunning a Virginia class submarine even when its submerged. IMHO, it was a waste of money.
@@xplicitmike ,. First the sub has to get inside our carriersescorts, and anti submarine aircraft and helicopter hunters. By the time they can get within striking distance, if they can, our carriers are gone With the countermeasures we have today, they'd be lucky to get enough hits to sink a US Aircraft Carrier. We are talking about The US Navy, not the weak ass RN. The RN's best chance of survival is embedding within a US Carrier Strike Group.
@@unitedwestand5100 that was literally my point. The HMS QE will never NOT have her own strike group and defensive measures. So once again, if your carrier needs to outrun an enemy sub, it's because that sub surpassed all your accompanying ships, sonars, anti-sub aircraft, etc... and by then you're already fk'd. Besides, a Virginia class sub can already surpass all of that anyway, she literally snuck up on Nimitz-class during testing time and again - and a few dozen modern anti-ship cruise missiles simultaneously fired at any carrier regardless of their strike group and defensive measures is a guaranteed kill anyway. All aircraft carriers are an archaic waste of money and wouldn't survive a single engagement in modern open war - including the Gerald R Ford.
@@xplicitmike ,. Rediculous! Do you understand how many ships are in the US 3rd Fleet? Do you know anything about The US Navy's anti-missile defense, or anti-submarine capabilities? IS destroyers, on several occasions, have been fired on by Houthi missiles from Yemen Shoreline launchers. Not a single one has successfully hit its target, and the launch system immediately paid for their attempts.

Well UK, Spain, Portugal, and France are basically the European powers who made , named, and shape the entire American continent. We will be in the stone age if England, Spain, Portugal and France wouldn't have discovered the Americas. What's more, all four (English, Spanish, French and Portugues) languages spoken in the entire continent from Canada all the way to Argentina are all of European origing. Our names and last names are also of European origing unless your ancestors are pure Native American or from other continent that is not Europe, your name and last names are of English, Spanish, French or Portuguese origin. Europe is our mother, we wouldn't be who we are if it wouldn't have been for England, Spain, France and Portugal.
Biggest...and yet most useless...barely 14 experimental furtive fighters that cannot go supersonice, take more than 6G without damages, radar and most systems unoperational and which seem more and more unable to fight...having a good SA isnt everything. I u havent all the other stuff coming along like the plane itself. And because of the creation of these 2 carriers, the amount of soldiers of britain will go from something 74000 soldiers to 54 000....so actually the carrier itself is a sucess....on the military plan....not sure its useful...yet?
Victory disease. America won ww2 with carriers, so more carriers more better. They have never fought against an enemy with up to date guided missiles. The British had no defenses in the Falklands. The Argentinian military simply ran out of missiles. Giant floating targets that are impossible to protect from a first world missile onslaught. As well, destroyers must be pulled away from other duties in a futile mission to protect the carrier.
Having a Carrier is for most countries a "status" symbol. Russia [1] China [2]. A carrier is an offensive piece of kitt, not a defensive one. If one seeks "world domination" you need to bring a carrier in to bully another country hence USA has 11 and 3 under construction. To defend your country, you don't need a carrier but a status symbol, an expensive Toy for the navy boys. Hence China [1-Shandong], the other [Liaoning] is an old refurbished but never completed ex-Soviet Navy piece of Kitt. The only Russian Carrier "Admiral Kuznetsov" spends most of its time in drydock to be repaired. Why? because most of the money allocated to the tasks is converted into Oligards super yachts.
No defence during the Falklands your talking billy bo**oks. The navy only lost one harrier and that was to ground fire. Their kill ratio was extremely good. Yes we lost ships but thats expected in war, however we won. I know i was down there.
I have never seen a beautiful Carrier. As for design, how about the Spitfire, Hurricane, Lancaster, Vulcan, Concorde, Harrier. Ships; Daring Class, City Class.

Yup. Unfortunately Britain can't afford to develop such a system on its own. And I feel confident in saying, that were we able to afford to, it would be a superior system to the Americans. British innovation and design are amongst the greatest in the modern world.
The Forestal Class Carriers disp Kim aced 65k tons, and had a 1k ft angled deck.
The Enterprise displaced 95k tons and had a 1100 ft angled flight deck.
This ship is tiny by American standards.
And slow. Its incapable of outrunning a Virginia class submarine even when its submerged.
IMHO, it was a waste of money.
If your carrier needs to outrun a sub, it's already far too late to save her.
@@xplicitmike ,. First the sub has to get inside our carriersescorts, and anti submarine aircraft and helicopter hunters.
By the time they can get within striking distance, if they can, our carriers are gone
With the countermeasures we have today, they'd be lucky to get enough hits to sink a US Aircraft Carrier.
We are talking about The US Navy, not the weak ass RN.
The RN's best chance of survival is embedding within a US Carrier Strike Group.
@@unitedwestand5100 that was literally my point. The HMS QE will never NOT have her own strike group and defensive measures. So once again, if your carrier needs to outrun an enemy sub, it's because that sub surpassed all your accompanying ships, sonars, anti-sub aircraft, etc... and by then you're already fk'd.
Besides, a Virginia class sub can already surpass all of that anyway, she literally snuck up on Nimitz-class during testing time and again - and a few dozen modern anti-ship cruise missiles simultaneously fired at any carrier regardless of their strike group and defensive measures is a guaranteed kill anyway. All aircraft carriers are an archaic waste of money and wouldn't survive a single engagement in modern open war - including the Gerald R Ford.
@@xplicitmike ,. Rediculous!
Do you understand how many ships are in the US 3rd Fleet?
Do you know anything about The US Navy's anti-missile defense, or anti-submarine capabilities?
IS destroyers, on several occasions, have been fired on by Houthi missiles from Yemen Shoreline launchers. Not a single one has successfully hit its target, and the launch system immediately paid for their attempts.
@@xplicitmike ,. Heres one such attempt;
USS Mason Fired 3 Missiles to Defend From Yemen Cruise Missiles Attack

The american carrier nimitz calss not as good as hms queen elizabeth2 yet yall designed it around american made flF-35’s lmao Why do Brit always say they have the best shit in there the innovators of everything
Well UK, Spain, Portugal, and France are basically the European powers who made , named, and shape the entire American continent.
We will be in the stone age if England, Spain, Portugal and France wouldn't have discovered the Americas.
What's more, all four (English, Spanish, French and Portugues) languages spoken in the entire continent from Canada all the way to Argentina are all of European origing. Our names and last names are also of European origing unless your ancestors are pure Native American or from other continent that is not Europe, your name and last names are of English, Spanish, French or Portuguese origin.
Europe is our mother, we wouldn't be who we are if it wouldn't have been for England, Spain, France and Portugal.
@Ocean Blue netherlands didn't have much impact.
And then we grew up. We no longer identify ourselves with them. Get over it.
Biggest...and yet most useless...barely 14 experimental furtive fighters that cannot go supersonice, take more than 6G without damages, radar and most systems unoperational and which seem more and more unable to fight...having a good SA isnt everything. I u havent all the other stuff coming along like the plane itself. And because of the creation of these 2 carriers, the amount of soldiers of britain will go from something 74000 soldiers to 54 000....so actually the carrier itself is a sucess....on the military plan....not sure its useful...yet?
Victory disease. America won ww2 with carriers, so more carriers more better. They have never fought against an enemy with up to date guided missiles.
The British had no defenses in the Falklands. The Argentinian military simply ran out of missiles. Giant floating targets that are impossible to protect from a first world missile onslaught.
As well, destroyers must be pulled away from other duties in a futile mission to protect the carrier.
Having a Carrier is for most countries a "status" symbol. Russia [1] China [2]. A carrier is an offensive piece of kitt, not a defensive one. If one seeks "world domination" you need to bring a carrier in to bully another country hence USA has 11 and 3 under construction. To defend your country, you don't need a carrier but a status symbol, an expensive Toy for the navy boys. Hence China [1-Shandong], the other [Liaoning] is an old refurbished but never completed ex-Soviet Navy piece of Kitt. The only Russian Carrier "Admiral Kuznetsov" spends most of its time in drydock to be repaired. Why? because most of the money allocated to the tasks is converted into Oligards super yachts.
No defence during the Falklands your talking billy bo**oks. The navy only lost one harrier and that was to ground fire. Their kill ratio was extremely good. Yes we lost ships but thats expected in war, however we won. I know i was down there.
It's the ugliest boat I've ever seen. I'm sure she will serve the Brits well. But.....will the Brits ever make something that actually
looks cool?
I have never seen a beautiful Carrier. As for design, how about the Spitfire, Hurricane, Lancaster, Vulcan, Concorde, Harrier. Ships; Daring Class, City Class.
I didn't realize weaponry was a beauty contest. It's not the Americas cup or a fucking boat show. These aren't pleasure craft.
No crew no aircraft what they do have barely fly they're so bad. The mouse that roared 😅
