I dont get all the issues with Americans flying off our Carriers. Its our sister nation. The bond we have and interoperability of our forces is a beautiful thing to see. Great ship, great birds and glad to have our brothers and sisters from across the pond right there with us 💪
Absolutely agree with you 100% 2548...Adverse negative and utterly stupid remearks about our brave service men and women should never be tolerated.
As a Brit total repects to the US Marines and co-operation still goes on. I remember back in the 1960's it was thanks to our American Cousins who made sure the Harrier survived into service. Followed both the joint RAF and US Marines a while back F-35b's working together on HMS Queen Elizabeth Aircraft Carrier travel to the other side of the World keeping the sea ways open. Was impressed with footage HMS Prince of Wales with modern large drone use. To be honest I'm totally sick and tired and bored to death of those who constantly put our forces down and wish they get a life. Co-operations with good allies has been going on for many many decades and why we can thankfully unlike others sleep in our beds at night knowing we are safe.
You do realize the Americans think our carriers are crap don't you?
@@davidgapp1457Then name them.
You get a life, the Royal Navy is becoming a Royal joke. I don't like saying that.
@@WhiteshirtloosetieI'm not sure what David is referring to, but when our Marines were interviewed back here in the States....they spoke very highly of the ship and its crew.
Makes ypu wish you was American, which is great, and I think that I like it.
The Queen Elizabeth class are not 280 metres, they are length 284 metres/ 932 feet, Beam 73 metres/ 240 feet, and they have a surge capacity of 72 aircraft.
and are falling apart, LMAO
@@swiftusmaximus5651 Hmm, no, but they have had teething problems with some of the onboard housekeeping system, like the trash handling system and an issue with the new powerplant.
All these snidey comments! Just be thankful that we do have a navy and a bloody good one at that. This from an ex RAF man who has the utmost respect for all those seamen and flying staff willing to put themselves in danger just so the morons who constantly swipe at them can sleep peacefully. These people need support not adverse comments. Nuff said.
Recruitment and retention figures tell a very different story. While I have the utmost respect for our servicemen and women we must acknowledge they are very badly let down by the Politicians who are suppose to provide leadership. Two ships have recently been taken out of commission because there are not enough sailors to crew them. As it is there are not enough ships to adequately form a Battlegroup to protect the Carrier.
I’d rather we had a better NHS than these total waste of tax payers money. It’s embarrassing as it’s quite obvious we can’t afford the aircraft for them.
Aaw bless 😂
I don't think anyone is aiming at those who serve. More likely our politicians who couldn't plan the proverbial in a brewery. There is no point in a country likes ours having 2 carriers of this size and then ruining it with spending cuts and all this diversity crap. We can't police the world so constuct the services as a defence of the UK.
Correct, fine Sir.
Awesome 👍✈️
Its great too see our American cousins flying and landing on a British carrier, I must admit I would definitely like to see more of the British F35 taking a bigger roll. I find very disappointing that the quantity of F35 the RAF has does not give both carriers a full compliment .
We Americans appreciate the privilege, cheers mate!
Should have developed the Harrier. Would probably have been able to afford more of those and would have been a better aircraft anyway. Would also have resulted in BRITISH jobs!
It's not that Britain won't have enough aircraft. Their quota isn't fuel to be fulfilled until 2025. America has only just gone into full production of the aircraft.
@@PaulRoberts-hh5wwThe Harrier has had its day also the F35 program provides a lot of British jobs as well, as we are a partner in the program and not just a customer
Brilliant job. Nice coverage and our wee ships are performing well given first couple years teething problems. Car manufacturers frequently recall tens of thousands of vehicles as their newer models break, maim and kill folk - moan at them After 100,000 units made, sure they can't make any more mistakes ? We built two Queen Elizabeth class carriers. They haven't broken, maimed or killed through ' unforeseen challenging design irregularities '. Keep 'er lit the boys yee and don't spare the horses !!!
Have to admit, I am well impressed with the SRVL?
these ships can be adapted to take any planes it makes sense to take full advantage of its capacities
Why add additional costs for aircraft that aren't needed. The Mojave UAV is being tested as an AWACS aircraft, by the Royal Navy, which can be launched from the QE carriers. This will give a higher ceiling, longer endurance, and greater range with better electronics, than any hawkeye AWACS, and they are to be fully integrated into the F35B, thus better capabilities than any modern navy has for the forseeable future. The only aircraft that cannot land on the QE/POW are those that we don't need, mostly for COD (letter and parcel deliveries) work. The merlin has the range to fly almost anywhere from the QE. So do tell exactly what capability we need that we cannot have on these carriers!
Seems very capable of breaking down.
we need to get trip wires fitted to our ships so they cane lunch all planes from the carriers
They would need catapults as well.
You think that’s bad, take a look at the RCN, they can’t even perform Amphibious operations or support amphibious operations without degrading their own capabilities,it seems to be the norm with the UK and Canada, but Australia seems to understand and apply that understanding into effective and efficient procurement.
You're wrong Australia is just as hopeless! Infact the current Labor government has cut the number of ships from 48 down to 32 in less than 18 months! It's seems the West is just pathetic and I believe it's all planed to be that way! 4:21
Looks great! Hope you get all the kinks out for when Britain can’t afford to maintain two Carriers! Australia hoping for a fire sale price . . . Or we could throw in a LHD ( Landing Helicopter Deck ) ; )
its time the UK got it right there have been to many mishaps with the making of out ships its time to get it right at a big expense
Massive aircraft carrier HMS Prince of Wales on its way to becoming a Coral Reef in the south China seas.
Id like to see the UK fund its military properly instead of fighting proxy wars against Russia and throwing money at Ukraine.
Am I correct in that these ships seem to spend more time in port getting repaired than out on patrol?
I fully understand that new ships have teething issues, especially new designs, but these two have not gotten off to a great start, IMO. Hopefully resolved with a decent amount of sea and exercise time.
has the propeller shaft broken down yet
My only fear is that we have 2 great big massive targets out there - but is there enough firepower to protect them?
You’re absolutely right. There aren’t enough support vessels to form an effective Carrier Battle Group. The Navy have even laid up a couple of ships because they don’t have enough sailors to crew them!
When it finally put to sea. And how long will it remain there? Before it breaks down again.
This was an advett for the F35 not the QE Class
American aircraft taking off on a British ship because Britain does not have enough of it's own aircraft, what is there to be proud of, a ship that breaks down and not enough aircraft and now, not enough sailors to sail it, dear god....
Well we have 31 at the moment with another 17 due by end of 2025 . What’s the problem ? The next phase of F35s will be the tranche 2 which will take us up to 74 . Apparently we are still committed to 138 .
@@frankjenkins6627never happen mate the Man from theTreasury he say no.!
Bbbbb boring!
@cjjk9142 It has not paid for them it has options they will not take the options the Treasury and the new Government will have to find big money to survive ....easy option cancel the options they always play this trick.
Bloody sickening the whole affair shameful
4 it's size the best navy in the worl and they av vey good kit big up the lads not dis em
No one needs to disrespect the sailors but you only have to look at the Recruitment and Retention figures to see the problem, people do not want to serve in the Royal Navy. There are a multitude of reasons for this, one of which is the constant erosion of Terms and Conditions of Service. Two ships have been taken out of service because of a lack of crew.
Teething troubles aside its nice that where back with too flat top's again. As there first in class there kind you're bound to have a failure of something why people cry over a throne propeller is quite pathetic .Its how you get back to strength that matters and learn what's working or find out what's need's a different approach .Funding is the biggest problem why can we give billions to Ukraine yet we ask our forces to do ever move with less .
Any British (RN OR RAF) planes?
RAF and RN share a pool of F35B's
Maybe we could borrow some planes...
Yes this beast must scare the shit out of the bad guys as it sails in with 4 bloody helicopters parked on the flight deck.
Maybe because they dont routinely embark fixed wing alongside.
I do hope in the middle of the sea, Bodmin Moor is not the place for a vessel.
I cant see the carriers surviving the new UK government's next defence review, maybe one mothballed as a source of spares for the other is the best we can expect,
Look I am glad we have them, but. 'incredible', we have ended up with a larger Invincible class
Never read the comments.
I've followed the JSF and CVF projects since their inception, and the timeline of political decisions which the project managers navigated so skillfully... and no ome in these comments is qualified to have an opinion. They are the definition of "low information" voters. There is some very interesting, rarely seen, footage in this video, but don't read the comments if you're looking for insights. 🙄
So amazing and impressive its up for sale...just like the City of London..😂😂😂😂😂😂😂viva BRICS...
This is 11 days ago the video says and every plane is a USA plane ...so in summary the carrier is the equivalent of a car transporter moving other companies vehicles around....
Obviously old footage from when they did the trials over the pond, she currently has brit F35s onboard
UK should start manufacturing it's OWN aircraft like France and Russia!
@@archangel0137 Check out the Tempest currently in development. Potentially 6th Gen
@@archangel0137We still do, but it's more common that countries work together to reduce development costs, an easy example being the Eurofighter Typhoon.
The current aircraft in development is called Tempest.
Yeah it's called an 'alliance', look it up.
Oh it’s not in dry dock after breaking down, hallelujah
Shr can actually carry up to 70 aircraft, 60 fighters and 20 helos plus evej mote obce frinws capabilities atr fully implemented in to the shops armaments and defences.
Why all of these videos only say 40 bemuses me when they the Royal Navy clearly stated that both QE Class carriers can carry up to 70 aircraft when at full readiness in a fully loaded, full on war campaign footing.
Old video of their training trip to the USA that’s why there are only American planes!
"...demonstrates international cooperation and interoperability between..."
AKA: We can't afford our own aircraft. A pair of white elephants.
Fairly sure they're only operating their own F-35s on this deployment.
Ah, this video must be using archive footage then. Would be great to see our own aircraft in it. @@Benjd0
Ordered by Gordon Brown to give employment to his constituents
A total waste of money
With only 12 F-35s? It’s a joke.
The dramatic music made me nope. Who needs to add drama? The RN. Hope you got those design flaws all re-bent to functional before departing for the flex-off ;)
So if its a British carrier why are the planes covered in US insignia...( Stars and stripes).... So we have these carriers but cannot afford any aircraftof our own to put on them????
This footage is largely from it's 2021 deployment where they had a combined force from the USMC and RAF.
The UK owns over 30 F-35s, 48 have been paid for with more to be ordered, but delivery has been slow.
I thought the US only had 11 super carriers not 13 😉
This is mostly old footage from the sea trials done off the US east coast last year which was mutual training for both the RN & USMC.
That said, what you stated in jest kinda fits with the fact that the yanks do have two more supercarriers under construction at the moment (the John F. Kennedy & the Enterprise).
@@CtrlOptDel yep only being ferocious 👍
HMS Prince of Wales for sale
This does make me laugh, all the armchair admirals slating the ship for breakdowns / no aircraft / no crew / spent too much on food. Anything to have a go at our armed forces when most if not all of them don't have the balls to sign up and put themselves in harms way but would rather sit in their basements / bedrooms pretending they know what they are talking about.
Get with the programme and up to date, this is an old video from when she was across the pond (Yes god forbid she made it to the States) The UK has around 35 F35s (Stand to be corrected) with a further 44 on order and to the best of my knowledge paid for.
The delays are down to the supply chain from our colonial cousins (They only build 156 per year for international customers, and the software / hardware integration to enable them to use the UKs Meteor weapon system).
The ships did have shaft problems which admittedly should have been picked up both in build and on sea trials but thats new ships for you. Look at the problems USS Gerald Ford has been having and she has been commissioned for 7 years so we are not the only people with carrier problems. It happens, it gets fixed, then move on.
As a Veteran myself I have nothing but respect for the US military, admittedly there are some on both sides who take great pleasure in slating the other but in the main we work very well together and have much mutual respect.
I also know the RN is better because it has beer! 😀
Yes-I wonder why the RN employs admirals when the loudmouths and know-it-all's here could do it all for free!
@@joemoore7447 Only if its in a cheesecake 😁
No aircraft ? make a football pitch out of it...
@@jimmylam9846 Plenty and yes I am sure the crew play football when the deck is clear
pity we gave our harriers away, dont need stealth aircraft on a carrier just good simple attack planes
Whyare thet showing US jets
do the brits have planes?
so the answer is no. @cjjk9142
We can’t actually afford them.
viva gli S A S
Why do the aircraft have American Plane Emblems???
They are US aircraft and pilots they deploy on the 2 aircraft carriers
This video is clickbait, it’s film from previous deployments
Is there any aircraft onboard that are not American.
There's no American aircraft on it currently, this is footage from a previous deployment.
Are
That exhaust flap looks so awkward on the plane, and I wonder why the design concept could not entail a sliding internal mechanism.
Air in take !!
Did they land and take off on the wrong carrier.? Easy mistake if the deck is empty of British jets.
Very nice but carriers are becoming obsolete in modern warfare, they are and will be huge sitting ducks in any real conflict. I certainly wouldn't want to be stationed on one.
Please explain.
Look at our big new shiny ship that doesn't quite work properly!
Funny. It breaks down, can't be maintained and we're meant to be impressed. The British are legends in their own mind.
Who said it cant be maintained?
It's incredible capability to break down? It's incredible capability to carry exactly one type of fixed wing aircraft made by Americans and Italians but certainly not the British themselves? It's incredible capability to carry only 36 fixed wing aircraft despite being Britain's biggest ever carrier? It's incredible capability to serve 3,000 meals costing 110,000 pounds (which implies the average meal costs over 35 pounds each). P.S. To be fair, the carrier is unlikely to EVER carry as many as 36 jump jets because it doesn't have the budget. So it's probably quite a spacious carrier for the crew... currently standing at around 700 but designed to operate with 1600 when fully equipped. Not to mention, this is the carrier that was never meant to be... by the time the Government tried to cancel the vessel, construction was sufficiently advanced it was deemed to expensive too cancel (penalties of around 1 billion pounds would've been incurred). I also gather the Navy is considering a retrofit with an electromagnetic catapult and arrester system. For comparison, the USN Gerald R. Ford can carry 75+ aircraft, multiple types, and can cruise for 25 years without refueling its nuclear reactors. It has a speed in excess of 32 knots. The Queen Elizabeth class can travel around 8,000 miles without refueling, and has a top speed of around 25 knots.
Made by the US and the Italians. Are you aware that of the 20 participating countries in the program. The UK contributed 15% of the production costs?
@@Bimboysize15 What is your point? Is any F-35B manufactured in the UK? Answer: No. Because Britain cannot manufacture ANY aircraft these days. They do parts. That's all. Oh, and an antiquated but effective trainer, the BAE Hawk.
What are you babbling about? The Italian contribution to the F-35 is trivial compared to the British contribution. We make around 15% to 20% of every aircraft (the former for the F-35A & F-35C, the latter for the F-35B), key parts that the US doesn't have the experience/expertise to make (they're not "taking pity on us", if they could make those parts themselves they would, either by buying the designs from us or just stealing them outright).
@@Bimboysize15Are you aware that NO military aircraft other than the ancient Hawk is now built in the UK? Parts are all Britain can do these days. Hard to believe the country that built the Harrier, the prototype Eurofighter, the V bombers, the Concorde are reduced to building NO modern aircraft. Not a single one. Pathetic and frankly shameful.
@@davidgapp1457 Jealousy is the only poison that pollutes the container that carries it. PS Are you really big person???? 😂🤣🤣
Looks like the Russian trolls have hyjacked this.
Yes of course, showcasing its constant poor performance and regular return to base for major overhauls or maintenance.
It floats... about the only thing it has done well or right since it was launched... HMS White Elephant 🐘
Where are the UK arms factories?Any working 24/7?We are sleep walking into war.
I agree on that, we need to pull our collective fingers out..
Fixed at last
Like the Russian Admiral Kuznetsov, Does she sail with two ocean going tugs with her to tow her home?
Thought that the surviving Russian Black Sea fleet ships were now equipped with glass bottoms so they could see the rest of their fleet.
The Russian Black Sea fleet even with it’s losses is still larger and more capable than the entire Royal Navy.
I love the Kuznetsov trademark billowing black smokestack. Can see it for miles....
Didn't realise that the navy let its sailors get so fat... Or grow such magnificent beards.
Oh if only the internet had been around when the type 23's first entered service problem after problem but there wasn't an internet or smart phone on everyone to highlight and drama queen every issue. We see it with the ajax vehicles in development now oh how many smartarse's banging on about troops being sick, having hearing problems and noises as if it's the first time it's ever happened only it's not same thing happened with the warrior when it was in late development. Our politicians are royally screwing the UK in every area but more critically in defence maybe we should have five MP's at the front of every deployment the defence budget would skyrocket overnight.
It would be great if it would stop breaking down.
F.35B using to much Fuel that why they can give a Service around 1 Hour not more.
Making it one of the largest warships constructed for RN? 😂 it IS the largest warship constructed for RN along with QE . This is an amateur channel 😂😂😂 baw bags 🇬🇧🏴
Only two jets onboard and one is American :-))!
Old footage from when they were establishing the initial operating capability for the F35 last year. This was when they were operating off the coast of Maryland using F35s from the Integrated Test Team and both jets are from the Marine Corps.
No catapults, onlÿ deploys vstol and helicopters, not a 'proper' carrier.
....and it's ugly
Its just an easy target for Russia
This video piece only shows how impotent the RN is! If it wasn't for the two US Navy F35s lightnings taking off the ski jump, the sailors on board would have nothing better to do other than their usual pastime activity of crochet knitting. What a tempting billion pound target?All Russia has to do is send a few sea drones and it is goodbye and good night. The money wasted on this vanity project of two aircraft carriers, which are depreciating and unreliable assets, could have been spent elsewhere that improves the economic wellbeing of the nation.
It’s pathetic two aircraft carriers and not enough aircraft for one
embarrassing no British emblems on the aircraft 🤣🤣🤣
Old footage from when they were establishing the initial operating capability for the F35 last year. This was when they were operating off the coast of Maryland using F35s from the Integrated Test Team.
hahahahhahhhaahahahahaaaaa.....is that a ship ?
One of two ugliest ships in the Navy.
It's an ugly looking aircraft.
Not built for looks
It built for stealth
Like most western military equipment it’s never been tested against a modern military power. Fighting against third world militias isn’t really a proper test of it’s capabilities.
At the end of the day, this is all academic when the labor party come into power one or both of these aircraft couriers will be sold, and it won’t make a bit of difference. Who cares if it’s an American aircraft or a British aircraft flying off one of these carriers, it’s an airplane. These carriers are supposed to be able to carry 40 aircraft each combination of all sorts, but mostly jets this country is so poor now that he couldn’t even afford to do that one aircraft carrier and think of all the ships that were decommissioned early to pay for what you have to remember is illustrious came out of refit 286,000,000 pound refit and within a few months, they said that they were decommissioning her and scrapping her What a waste of money and had the electromagnetic lawn system actually been available and working when Cameron said that they wanted to go for the cheaper aircraft other words, the bay cats and traps they probably wouldn’t be flying this particular model, which is very expensive if they’ve got any sense the first time one of these goes into refit they’ll fit the electromagnetic system because the aircraft carrier is big enough to take it and has extensive power generation capability they can put all of them on the vertical launch ones on one carrier and replace them on the other carrier with a much cheaper aircraft that can do the same like the F-18 super hornet or something similar
This useless aircraft career is a JOKE 😂😂😂
