    Subjects such as this, should be at the top of discussion agenda in regards to Scotlands future. I'm a unionist, I back the UK, however, even the strongest of Scottish Nationalists surley must see that breaking away would loose Scotland thousands of these types of jobs. It would also significantly weaken Scotlands defence capabilities, especially in times of war when assets are lost and the ability to replenish quickly is critical . These are really important discussion points, and it's clear we're stronger together - the evidence is in this video.

    I cannot wait to see this class sail alongside the Type-45 in a Queen Elizabeth class carrier battle group. A devastating projection of power and strength that only a select few nations in the world can put to sea. Great Britain is back, the lion has awoken from it's slumber.

      Battle groups in 2019 are watched by Satellites and can be targeted and sunk from anywhere.
      What I see is another stupid conflict coming, and this Battle Group might as well fly the Stars and Strips for all the operational freedom it'll ever command.

      Satellites can track aircraft carrier sized targets, yes, and will soon have the ability to track frigate and destroyer sized vessels if improvements in camera and sensor tech improve at the same rate they currently are, but no country on the planet, including china and the USA, have enough satellites to do this effectively over a large enough area to make any difference to operations for the target country or the tracking country. At some point geostationary satellites may make this possible, but even then, counter weapons will be produced that will cancel out a large amount of the edge this could give a country.

      @kimjonglongdong3158 Před 4 lety +4

      @Neil Stevens Because the US admitting you have a strong, non US built, weapon system, is quite a good thing. Even for allied countries it is common for the american "everything american is better" thought process to result in them distrusting/disliking foreign projects and systems. Them saying it looks like one of the best in the world is a good sign.

      It's a plc.But the government owns 1% share or a golden share. Which prevents the company from making any amendments to its articles of association without the Secretary of states permission.

    • @kimjonglongdong3158
      @kimjonglongdong3158 Před 4 lety +1

      According to UK Defense Journal ~35% will be sourced in country, and the rest foreign imports. According to BAE systems, the main reason is that many of the steel types needed are not produced on a large enough scale in the UK to make the procurement of said steel from UK companies financially viable. However with the QE class carriers, only ~3% of the steel used was from foreign sources, just as an interesting side note. However, if there is enough incentive, then the percentage of foreign steel used may decrease if more UK companies decide that they want to bid for BAE to use their steel instead (i'm not sure if that's actually possible, just making an assumption).

    I don't get why people make a fuss over it being made in the UK as if...
    a) That's anything new (I can't think of any commissioned warships of the RN to be made outside the UK since the lend-lease ships in WW2, plus any ships taken as prizes)
    b) That's any sort of quality assurance.
