HMS Queen Elizebeth and USS Gerald R Ford
BAe Land Systems Challenger 2 MK 2. has Commanders own Fully traversing thermal imaging sights, radar and APS, as well as new computing and easy use interface, faster traversing turret and new processors.
Can you here commonwealth navy
The Type 26 and sub classes (like Australian Hunter Class) are an advance Anti-Submarine Warfare Vessel Design/made by BAe Systems surface Fleets with an Acoustically quiet hull and Towed sonar array. Paired with Vertical Launch Silos that can launch Torpedo carrying Missiles at Enemy subs and has landing deck (big enough to land chinook on it) that can launch ASW Helicopters with light torpedos and dipping Sonar.
My biggest surprise is the US Navy competition (FFGX), did not short this vessel as it would’ve been a bonus for the Five Eyes Countries as most would use the same hull design and similar equipment, same engine and propulsion, almost exact same weapons systems.
The Japanese Self Defence Navy is thinking about convert the heli Carriers to true aircraft Carrier
Notice the illustrious style ski ramp at the front
HMS QE in America during Westland18
Rapier AC by Anglo Engineering Concepts, a design to Succeed the CRV/T or FV100 series family. This variant is armed with a CTA 40mm auto cannon, a 7.62mmx51mm coax and a ATGM launcher.
Canada has now contract for 15 Type 26 Frigates (Canadian variant) bring the total hulls purchase/ships up to 32. This variant almost meets the Requirements for the US navy’s FFGX Programme, With minor modifications it would fit the bill for it.
The Chinese are at the moment more advance, they’ve hacked defence companies like Lockheed Martin. The military is far larger and tech wise somewhat better than the US armed Forces, even some European countries Armed forces are more advanced than the US. The Western nations need to pull their fingers out and start accepting that Cyber Warfare is a New Front and needs to be dealt with accordingly.
B-but... muh gigantic aircraft carriers!
Can have radars jammed and software hacked this is some the west hall arse to gain back the Advantage in, also the Nimitz class are being replaced with ford class and if the US did what the UK did by building them modularly then they would be ready sooner
Wildcat loaded for Bare
A Massive sigh of relief the USN is joining the Gulf anti-Iranian piracy operations. image of Type 45 HMS Duncan: Daring Class Destroyer (Front), Arleigh Burke Class Destroyer (Middle) and Ticonderoga Class Cruiser (Back).
The Royal Navy has been under strength do constant Governments with Austerity in mind
So, how we gunna destroy Iran’s gobbiness.
Napalm, lots and lots of napalm
@Dick Daddy Foster, for size Reference for the New British Carriers.
I would like to talk about the massive blunder that is the USN Nimitz class super carrier replacements program.:
The Gerald R Ford Class.
And how much of this could have been averted if they had test the equipment via refits on the older class, so they new Class didn’t suffer.
