Why is the bongs so mjch better at naming ships then everyone else?
Austin Roberts
because they started it in times where good names were acceptable, and now have fleet small enough, that they can easily reuse only the good names.
Also, lack of tradition of bribing politicians with ships named to stroke thier egos.

Thats what subs are for. Or do you think submarine collisions are rare?
The only navies that avoid them are navies who never use their subs in a remotely aggressive way.

as are most 1960's boats. we have new ones now, shall i tell you more about them?
>In 2012, during the joint exercise Fellowship, Astute performed simulated battles with the latest United States Navy Virginia-class submarine, USS New Mexico. A government press release reported that the Americans were "taken aback" by Astute's capabilities. Royal Navy Commander Iain Breckenridge was quoted, "Our sonar is fantastic and I have never before experienced holding a submarine at the range we were holding USS New Mexico. The Americans were utterly taken aback, blown away with what they were seeing"
Don't worry we're kind enough to let the americans share in our developments in quieting, sonar, and propulsion. they let us see their notes for reactors after all.

Is the Astute Seawolf-tier?
Noah Cruz
HMS Pansy wrecked so many U-boats though that U-Boat captains would not even bother trying to attack ships if they spotted her near a flotilla they were targetting.
Nothing better in war than giving a quietly effecient ship a comical name just to further demoralise them or risk being another victim of the pansy's awesome power.
Same was true for HMS Fairy and HMS Fluffytuff.
Colton Sanchez
Seawolf was expensive because of it's construction materials and because it used lots of technology that wasn't mature. Modern western boats use many of the successful technologies.
As a modern SSN Virgina and Astute are better because they are 15-20 years newer.
As a deep diving submarine for special mission Seawolf is great.
Brody Barnes
Am I supposed to be impressed that you guys heard a US submarine once or twice? Big fucking deal? We track your shitty dildos swimming through the water all the time, it doesn't change the fact that you scrapped 90% of your navy after WWII and it was turned into little more than a sonar picket for patrolling the GIUK gap. Yeah, I'd hope you're good at your job of listening for enemy submarines so that your master can let you off the leash while we get around to getting over there and doing the hard work. Absolutely pathetic, absolutely servile and disgusting. The absolute state of the Bongish Navy. Unironically kill yourself, or just spend some time on a Royal Navy frigate and wait for the Argentines to sink it.
Austin Gray

And like most British ship's it'll end up spending the majority of it's life in a dock doing fuck all while it's crew slowly get bored & take drugs while fucking each other (c.f. Trident crew), this is assuming it'll actually be ready by the time it's finished but no, more than likely it'll get so delayed due to some shitty reason or another that it'll be outdated by the time it comes out.
Oh, and can't forget that if it ever does go swimming it'll probably spend it's time launching multi-million pound missiles at goat farmers armed with AK47s

Now you're starting to crawl up your own ass. You and I both know that the Virginia class was designed to be a cheaper alternative that would act as a platform we could continuously upgrade instead of blowing our entire load on a new seawolf because those cost billions. With the SSN(X) program designed to be just that, fitted with all the best new technology we've paid a bunch of eggheads to figure out. Whereas the Astute was designed for that purpose from the ground up to make up for the fact there would only be seven commissioned.
Samuel Mitchell
>fitted with all the best new technology we've paid a bunch of eggheads to figure out.
You mean us? hence why you are using our towed array design, our propulsor design and our mainframe sonar arrangement?
Leo Hernandez

You fucking idiots couldn't manage to get the Astute seaworthy until General Dynamics helped you out. And we could run a tally on how much of our technology you're currently siphoning on.
You're a citizen of a decaying island nation wanking off to past glory you never had a part of, and your nation's only purpose left on this earth is to serve as fodder for Americans when we go to war with one of the actual world powers. Your navy will fight and die for the United States for no territorial or economic gains at the drop of a hat because that is what you do.

Asher Mitchell
>Fucking retard these are all trials.
Trials it completed. There's no rush, we're not about to fight anyone. And if we needed to we could use F35 off QE without issue.
Feels good having 5th gens at sea that can take off from a ramp with a higher payload and fly further than any current CATOBAR/STOBAR aircraft barring F35C.
Even better is it makes foreigners furious.

I hope that figure is fucking wrong because if we've only got 24 by 2023 we'd be in the shit if we needed them, quick hint: no piece of kit is ever 100% available
Elijah Taylor
>I hope that figure is fucking wrong because if we've only got 24 by 2023 we'd be in the shit if we needed them, quick hint: no piece of kit is ever 100% available
That's 24 out of a total fleet of 48.
Jack Ortiz
An order that can be accelerated if there is any sign of rising tension.
The bulk of our order is arriving after Block 3 with the superior systems, Meteor, Brimstone/SPEAR3, internal ASRAAM. Until then we are using AMRAAM C-8, external ASRAAM and Paveway
Logan Young
Feel free to correct if wrong with each carrier taking 24 aircraft will obviously make a total fleet of 48, which still leaves the issue of availability.
Ryan Bailey
>Feel free to correct if wrong with each carrier taking 24 aircraft will obviously make a total fleet of 48
There are 48 on order out to 2024, the remaining 90 aircraft will be ordered and arrive during and after 2024 in a sime scale that has yet to be confirmed - SDSR 2020 will set out the timeline.
All the aircraft are joint RAF / Fleet Air Arm, so can be deployed at sea or on land as needed - that's how easy carrier ops have become with F35B.
Wyatt Barnes
The current planning assumption is that both carriers will not be operating alongside each other, unless direly required.
Eli Lewis
As much as the join RAF/Fleet sounds and fun in theory, simply "swapping them over" to one another means having separate pilots all around, so what are they going to do? Keep F-35 ground pilots waiting for their plane to get swapped back to the RAF if needed? Because you certainly can't get them to land on carriers, that's something only the Fleet Air Arm will be training.
Dominic Lewis
>simply "swapping them over" to one another means having separate pilots all around
no, same pilots. Some F35's will be permanently embarked as it stands that will be the 12 aircraft of 809 squadron (immortals).
the RAF pilots of 617 squadron (dambusters) will be the ones flying any F35's deployed to HMS QE. As i said, carrier ops with F35B on HMS QE is easy, the RAF pilots will train to do it.
Gabriel Diaz
>the RAF pilots will train to do it
Fighter pilot selection is hard, and carrier pilot selection is even harder because landing on a carrier isn't easy and is dangerous, regardless of what you're flying. It requires extra training and selection. So now we're going to make all of our main fighter pilots carrier capable? This is going to cost an absolute fortune.
Joshua Scott
It's not nearly as hard as it used to be. F35 does all the work, the pilot just keeps a glide slope generated by the aircraft, no different to a zero visibility landing. It's a STOVL jet, so the RAF will be practicing vertical takeoff and landings just the same.
Plenty of RAF harrier pilots flew off carriers and that was a far harder task.
As for cost - thats taken up by simulators, then they just fly out to a carrier on exercise and take off and land a few times to get/renew certification.
Helicopter pilots go through the same process each time they embark.
