On December 11, 2008, Defence Secretary John Hutton announced that the two ships would enter service one or two years later than the originally planned dates of 2014 and 2016." "Expected to enter service between late 2015 and 2018" [link to en.wikipedia.org] So, no war until 2018? ;) |

"Aircraft carriers represent a national asset for the UK. Power and versatility make them a formidable warfighting tool and able to fulfil a wide range of requirements in an increasingly diverse and changing global defence landscape. BULLSHIT. In today's world, being NOT BANKRUPT is better for national security than having an aircraft carrier. what the bloody hell has it got do with you? Has it happens the aircraft carriers will probably get scrapped anyway with the upcoming cuts to the M.O.D budget, especially as the M.O.D now have to pay for Trident. The Army want to downsize the Royal Navy and the RAF to pay for Blair's silly wars in Afghanistan and where ever else and with dead soldiers passing through Wootton Bassett almost on a daily basis, there is a lot of public support for the Army, even though strategically it makes more sense to have a strong Navy and Air Force. |

Quoting: hoot no more/hasheater 1052883To a state like uk a carrier is that symbol which elevates it to middle rank within the military sphere. Which is interlinked to foreign diplomatic status. Similar to a nuclear deterrent, so as the globe gravitates to a controlled creation, aircraft carriers aren't likely to be in conflict to other nations similarly equipped fleets. If it did happen expect UK ships to sink. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1052447Re-read 1984. George Orwell understood how things really work better than anyone before or since. I wonder sometimes if he was intentionally infected with tuberculosis. Basically in 1984 most of the industrial production went towards armaments fighting permanent wars because it was a way to keep productivity going while destroying what was produced - basically it was a way to keep people employed without raising their standard of living. Notice how there's never enough money for health care, or pensions or roads but plenty around if another country needs invading. |
