I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt it’s Overlord. There is like more fleet carriers in this scene than US and RN had combined in 1942.

What Enterprise doing in a De Gaulle biopic

Nothing beats the first super carrier being old enough to be commissioned with 8 5 inch guns

All I knew about it was that Brits have had it with CROWSNEST and plan on retiring it 2029. Project Vixen is a AEW/ASW/Strike platform but they haven’t made any decisions on it. They’re also looking at the mq-28 for Vixen which leads to the Project Ark Royal to expand the flight deck and add EMALS.

This is for the British which will replace CROWSNEST soon and wants a UAV replacement which can also do ASW and strike missions.

IIRC the Mark 57 is larger so in can accommodate missiles with more powerful motors rather than larger missiles.

The Italians put a OTO 76 on leopard 1 and OF-40 hulls

JSM is the only AShM that fits internally on the F-35. Australians Germans Japanese and Italians are buying as well. Not the British tho which is strange since they bought some NSM for their frigates and FC/ASW has no plans to be integrated into F-35.

It’s either INDOPACOM trying to dial down Colby’s rhetoric or it’s Colby taking a INDOPACOM suggestion to the Brits and going wild with it.

TD likes strongmen. He disliked Sunak because of defense policy and likes strongmen because they give him vibes that they are good for defense policy.

TD isn’t a Tory anymore he is Reform now. He didn’t like the Tories because of Sunak and was a big Boris fan and didn’t like how the party treated him. He has always been British Salamander just everyone seemed to ignore it. Drummond is just your typical racist former army type.

Decent chance this person hasn’t either and just says they did but for leftist reasons because they think it makes them cool

Not like the media hasn’t been unwilling to make unsubstantiated claims about this in the past with IKE last October but this may be more of a media under Trump v Biden result.

I think the bigger issue is that the Red Sea is so small it would be inexcusable not to react in the quickest and safest manner when shot at. This photo really demonstrates how low the elevators can get so it’s probably like who cares about the tug let’s turn the boat asap.

Given what the past few months have been like I don’t have any faith in the government or navy to not leak something, on purpose or not, if it was more than a wrong place at the wrong time problem.
