>Portsmouth, United Kingdom >After embarking what sources call "an outsize contingent of Royal Marines and rotary wing aircraft" the brand new British carrier set sail for the embattled Asian city under sealed orders, per a communique distributed to family of the crew. >She is accompanied by RFA Tiderace, a replenishment ship, RFA Lyme Bay, a landing ship, and anti-aircraft destroyers HMS Dragon, HMS Dauntless, and HMS Duncan. >Tensions between the People's Republic of China, that claims total sovereignty over Hong Kong, and the United Kingdom have run high after the British government intimated that it considered the treaty ceding the territory to the PRC on the condition that democracy be maintained a "living, enforceable document." >Mainland China has been nearly apoplectic in its dealings with Britain especially after protesters hoisted the Union Jack over Hong Kong's Legislative Council during a storming of the building. >Foreign Office officials, speaking under condition of anonymity, told us that the ships are meant to provide support for the relatively large number of British nationals resident in Hong Kong, should anti-British reprisals break out. Chinese contacts dismissed this, citing open source intelligence that indicated HMS Queen Elizabeth and her consorts took on a full complement 'war shots' (fully functional missiles and bombs) before setting sail. >Chatter from the British special forces community also indicates that special recall orders have gone out to almost all active SAS (Special Air Service) and SBS (Special Boat Service) personnel though due to the nature of these secretive units this cannot be confirmed. Leaves have been cancelled for 60% of RAF personnel and spotters report unusually high activity around major installations in the south of England.
are they going to sink their stupid ramp carrier? was that its purpose? all these years in construction, all the memes it was built to be a false flag from the start?
Angel Barnes
With rotary-wing aircraft.
Daniel Ward
wat with the q on carrier?
Bentley Rogers
is that a ramp?
Joshua Gray
lol, there's that ramp boat again. It looks so shabby and small.
Brandon Sanchez
Not enough fart sounds can dismiss the ludicrous character of any notions of UK, or a group of nations and UK, having any sort of determination over the government of China. Bump.
Camden Jenkins
Neo Anglo Empire when? Shit if you fuckwits ditch the queen and get your immigration under control we might be able to join up again.
Kevin Thomas
Only way the bongs could take back Hong Kong from China is if the US helped and that would likely bring about a nuclear war. The Bings only barely beat Argentina in the Faulklands. So zero chance.
Sebastian Reyes
This must be the contingent sent to officially give Hong Kong to China, gotta have a big military ceremony with pomp and all.
Jackson Stewart
They're going to build multiple carriers in that same design and its to easily distinguish them from above, for pilots and for spotters in exercises. The Q is for Queen Elizabeth as the other confirmed one will be HMS Prince of Wales and be marked "P"
Jayden Nguyen
Lol dumb. They're better off under Chinese rule than ultra-PC Islamic British rule.
Connor Wood
why does it have a ramp?
Levi Turner
They fucking should be mate. There's SAS on them there ships.
The QE is not that bad really. You can think of it as an upsized version of the US' LHA, not a real carrier in all its logistical functionality, but a sort of assault platform to launch some kinds of aircraft. I kind of like them the same way i like the LHA/LHDs for being secret stealth carriers nobody realizes the US has
Jace Reyes
Duncan Idaho motherfucker. Based af
Dominic Torres
Too short to launch fixed wing aircraft
Camden Perez
wasnt this the plot of some shitty james bond movie
Hunter Hill
They’re kept below deck. Are you just retarded?
Austin Allen
(((SAS))) or (((SBS)))
Asher Bailey
Fake. Sloppy job Putin, dick
Daniel Bell
God save the UK. Where the yanks piss about with muh sanctions, our tiny nation gets angry and forges new Empires with like, 10 soldiers and a strong brew.
Cameron Bennett
The only real problem is they called them a carrier. They should have taken a page from japans 'helicopter destroyers" and just called them "V/STOL Cruisers"
Jace Johnson
They don't sail with the planes on the deck.
Isaiah Lopez
And copied russias vertical missile cells under the flight deck memes and just had a shitload of missiles too. Boat designed to just shit missiles and aircraft all over everything and then sink.
Evan Flores
So they can entertain themselves launching the rotary-wing aircraft from it and then landing back down.
Liam Gutierrez
>>has no planes This means they aren't planning on taking HK by forces. With only helos aboard, they probably are doing what they said they were doing: getting ready to extract UK nationals if shit gets bad. Three type 45s is a pretty serious committment though, so they expect to either actually need AAW cover for their mission, or else they are a deterrent to prevent the need for AAW cover.
Samuel Morales
How bizarre. I wonder what this large aircraft carrier that's currently moored up at the Historic Dockyard in Portsmouth is then. You reckon it's an inflatable decoy?
Connor Butler
I really hope brits are going to kill some mainlanders and give HK freedom.
Blake Powell
That giant Q...
Carter Gutierrez
Haha the Chinese will sink these faggot bongs and we will mock them in the JTRIG britpol threads.
Britain has never ever been our ally.
Lucas Martinez
Wew. Five Eyes be like America just won't take the bait to get WWIII started, so UK you gotta do it.
The UK is a tiny insignificant little insect compared to mighty China. Your empire is gone, you're nothing but an American satellite.
Carter Lee
The implications if one of these SAS guys gets a sprained ankle while fighting a chink riot cop to try and save a British National would compel us to park our ships in Chinese territorial water and have a good old fashion standoff until China folds.
and not to sound like a warhawk or someone who is pro war... but if they don't fold, they'll break. But then again I wouldn't be surprised if this is the UK's doing to try and get the US into war so Trump becomes unelectable next year.
This, don’t take the bait us. Let Britain burn unaided like they should have twice before.
Nolan Wright
>You call that an aircraft carrier? You call pic related white? I know!It's beautiful! You'll not demoralize me. We are finally getting a just war, and we'll punch above our weight as we always do.
Yeah, the lowlanders are. We don't take the lowlanders though, it is said that the Army flies over the Highlands at night in VTOL craft, beaming up young boys from the age of 4, where they are honed for 14 years into the most fearless and deadliest soldier known to man.
Angel James
Fighting China isn't in our interests economically because they're a major trade partner. If one of our allies who we regularly sell weapons to decides to wipe out China's navy and annex one of its "territories", they can't exactly call it an act of war against us and use it as an excuse to stop trading with us (and if they did, they'd have a much bigger navy to tangle with). Really, you guys are doing us a favor.
Elijah Williams
For fuck sake, I thought we were going to be the ones to start of WW3. You bongs ruin everything
Nathaniel Foster
Justin Trudeau here, I humbly offer our entire navy, two row boats and a cannon in the service of her majesty.
Eli Cruz
Fuck China and their primitive piss-skin technology. These third worlders can't do shit.
Elijah Martinez
it'd only be scary if the boats were packed with muslims seeking asylum in china
Evan James
>getting ready to extract UK nationals if shit gets bad. This. China is going for another, larger Tiannamen Square
Zachary Gonzalez
It was already the City of London long before, a hive of devilry and satanic kikes. We're hoping one day there's a mass chimpout and the muzzies clear the kikes out for us. Well, be happy about it. The chinks being brought to heel now means our children don't have to do it later. We'll even save Aus and Canada into the bargain.
Elijah Bennett
Brittan should have never let go of Hong Kong. Let's go WW3.
Charles Rogers
That would only be effective on western nations, China has a much more rational policy when it comes to asylum seekers and migrants
Charles Howard
Not defending the chicoms but they managed to steal and hack into your defense and still has the best 5G technology than any other nation
Cameron Stewart
China has real consentratiin camps for them. They can make Nike sneakers for the woke.
Jason Torres
Your alternative is getting drafted along with all the other young white men while your women whore themselves out to/get gang raped by the draft dodging Jews, negros and illegal aliens. Accept chinese hegemony and have time to save your countries or accelerate your own races demise. Your choice white boy
Samuel Myers
>Britain starts ww3
Huh, didn't see that coming
Leo Ortiz
Stop LARPing. I can only get so erect
Gabriel Roberts
pretty funny actually. HK is a 8 million population city, gdp consist of merely 2% of entire China. Turn it into Syria for all i care, it doesnt affect the rest of China.
Cameron Scott
Hey, you need a license to show that much national pride.
Christopher Carter
>Singapore Get ready, you're next.
Sebastian Bennett
how badly would "great" britain be demolished by the chinks?
Benjamin Johnson
Britcucks are pussies and they wont do shit to China lest China detonated their nuclear reactor, which China is building for the UK lmao
Lincoln Sanders
Demand "Loicenses" for their chop-sticks?
Bentley Evans
Next for what? We're independent and financially strong. Ironically Singapore is much safer than UK will ever be LOL. Never forget bongs lost Singapore to inferior nips back in WW2 like a bunch of cuckolds
