The C in CV comes from aircraft carriers being treated as a subset of cruisers, not from the word carrier.
Weirdly, even that's likely not why the British initially called the Invincible class "through deck cruisers".

Perhaps Andy was once briefly respected for seeing action in the Falklands war. That was decades ago and he’s been widely despised since.

I think that particular pack o lies was trotted out by him as a consequence of the "action" he saw in the Falklands. Tried to convince Emily Maitlis, of all people, of the veracity of this fiction during that car crash News night interview.

I remember when Andrew was called "Randy Andy" by the US tabloids. A party boy who had a string of girlfriends. Coming home to the UK from the Falklands as "a war hero".

I would love to see a Commonwealth Winter Games - Canada, Scotland, New Zealand, Australia and the Falklands, with some Jamaica and a few dual nationals thrown in! But may the best team win the curling! Looking forward to the packed viewing venues and ecstatic celebrations. 😀

The whole country supported the Falklands war. It was immense. And it was started by a failing Junta not Thatcher. It was a a wafer thin call to go or not. Leach told her the Navy would do it in 48 hours and off they went

People were saying the same about our personnel before the Falklands and they were wrong then too.
Ehhh, China would destroy the US in a war now. We’d run out of ships in a month and missiles in 3. A soft, anti-intellectual, consumerist populace is not equipped to fight China.

No, but he did fly a helicopter during the Falklands Conflict in 1982. It's just the sort of thing that Andy would brag about.

If only Nonce Andrew had died during the Falklands campaign he would be remembered as a hero helicopter pilot and not what he will go in the record books for.
I doubt he'd have wanted that but he was the spare, he lost that role years ago.
