  • Scottish Shipyards to build Aircraft Carriers

    Looks like the two new British Carriers will soon be a reality.

    Don't believe it till you see them sitting on the slips. Many similar projects have been cancelled at a similar stage. CVA01 anyone?

      Coincidence there, Goldie.
      Just finished Eric "Winkle" Brown's bewk about his fantastic naval flying career, which included a big write-up about CVA01.It would have been a very serious bit of kit, right enough.

            Come to think of it, would Belfast Lough even have the depth to take an aircraft carrier of this size? Anyway, good that a British yard got the work, just wouldn't seem right serving on a ship made by someone else!
