Post ur cunt's navy
our ships are very cute
Yep, you are looking at the enitre Austrian Navy right now
Newest ship in our navy
date of build - 1913
the grand irish navy
NIce
oldest (technically) active ship in our navy and the whole world in fact
comissioned 1765 i believe
they usually give the captaincy to the head of the Royal Navy, since hes stuck behind a desk all the time anyway
that's a big flag
i forgot im in holiday in america
im talking about the British Royal Navy btw
as shit as the russian navy is the Sovremennyy and udaloy look fucking sexy
>in our navy
you rejoined the commonwealth?
noice send white castle and Arby's
Too big actually. It's bad maritime flag etiquette to let any flag touch the water, which is what'll inevitably happen.
>comissioned 1765 i believe
That means she was already 40 years old at Trafalgar. Goes to show how slow the pace of technological progress was back in 18th century
not really
even today most active warships are 20-40 years old
Shame they had to give them shit names (HMS Queen Elizabeth II and HMS Prince of Wales) but when the second is finished the UK will be tied with Italy for the second most aircraft carriers after the US, and the only country other than the US with 2 supercarriers (Russia and China have one each).
Not sure if we've even got planes for them though atm. Liam Fox (former defence minister) pretty much gutted the armed forces.
*blocks ur path*
Why do Swedes put barcodes on their ships?
>So they can Scandanavian
>77 KB, 550x412
I would pump her bilge, if you know what I mean
>101 KB, 671x447
>HMS Queen Elizabeth II
She's named after a WW1 dreadnought, which was in turn named after Elizabeth I. Also there's 10 (ten) F35b aircraft currently in the UK with 5 having being delivered just last week, and she will have F35b trials within the next couple of months.

>A FUCKING RAMP
NO BULLYING THE CUTE RAMP
>doesn't float
>laughingironsides
Visited as a kid. Was pretty great. Have to go back as an adult.
Australia made the right choice.
aircraft carriers normally have a ramp?
Ramps along with twin towers are the future.
BAE offered the Type 31e to our navy.
Our cunt has an obsession with large flags
>all these cunts that can't into nuclear
The Type 31 hasn't even been finalised yet and and there's still a bidding contest going on in the UK between BAE (Leander) and Babcock (Arrowhead). I think the bidding has been suspended for now.
US aircraft carriers use catapults
poor countries use ramps
>twin towers
Too soon!
for me, it's the arrowhead
youtube.com
but to ask these bidders to build a proper frigate for £250m I don't know what they're smoking.
>poor countries use ramps
One can hardly call look at the price of buying and running a carrier group - and say that nation is exactly poor.
Let me word that properly, countries that have lagging carrier tech use ramps while the US, the foremost in naval power, uses catapults.
The bidding here still going on too, although i think Damen will win since SAAB is also involved. They're shilling so hard that they even made 3D art with Gripens making a fly-by.
Not necessarily.
The UK has/had a technically more advanced version of the US EMALS available - however, it was not chosen as it did not meet the requirements.
this was our cutest bote
- same firepower as a heavy cruiser at 3500 tons ( 4 x 254 mm guns and 8 x dp 102 mm guns)
- better fire control systems than ww2 british light cruisers
- more armor than a battlecruiser
cons:
- slow
- cant go to open ocean due to the near flat bottom
Why use a ski jump when it limits the payload of the plane taking off, takes up more space on the flight deck and causes more strain on the aircraft?
Not exactly, the QE-class uses a lot of new tech - its weapons handling system being the main one. The twin islands reduces turbulence over the flight deck, gives better visibility for the flying operations and for seeing where you're sailing. Better spacing beneath decks because of the twin islands which means you can space out the funnels more efficiently and in the case of damage one propulsion system will remain active.
You've wrongly bought into the Jow Forums meme.
The ski-jump does not limit the payload, nor does it cause more strain on the aircraft - it does the exact opposite. The ski-jump gives the aircraft additional runway length and a greater clearance from the deck (making it much safer).
But are you asking why STOVL compared to CATOBAR?
but a catapult causes more strain
and anyway the mission for the new carrier group is to defend the north-sea and to provide support asia
catapults mean a smaller sorty rate which is the most important thing for an ASW mission
i am really drunk so i can't explain anybetter.
also frances catapult carrier doesn't even work
Thanks to the dutch for teaching us how to navy
What lake/See does it patrol?
Danube river
Is it true you guys only have one small squadron of patrol aircraft?
We're gonna buy 4 of those, but ours will be better with an extra VLS. These are not corvettes, these are legit frigates and they are so fucking good.
Thanks britain.
We have one two but she isn't active.
The Brit one doesn't? because Ironsides went to sea in 2012.
>Constitution was retired from active service in 1881 and served as a receiving ship until being designated a museum ship in 1907. In 1934, she completed a three-year, 90-port tour of the nation. She sailed under her own power for her 200th birthday in 1997, and again in August 2012 to commemorate the 200th anniversary of her victory over Guerriere.
Not real ones. Catapults allow heavier loads.
>Our cunt has an obsession with large flags
United States of Mexico confirmed as Latin America's USA.
>Not real ones
They're still 'real' carriers.
>US aircraft carriers use catapults
>poor countries use ramps
When did your country last have a navy, when it tried to invade Japan?
BTFO
Halifax-class frigates are our only proper combat ships, but Canada is building some new ships at the moment. All of our Iroquois-class destroyers were decommissioned within the last few years.
Based and redpilled. Also stay away from our subs or the Brits will shoot you.
express.co.uk
>Danube river
Ah so it's more for maritime protection/inspections?
Ours is better because the Krauts built it and not siesta nigs.
daily reminder if your country's navy does not have a modern destroyer, its a fake navy
>Halifax-class frigates are our only proper combat ships, but Canada is building some new ships at the moment. All of our Iroquois-class destroyers were decommissioned within the last few years.
You do have better ice breakers than we do.
That's clearly a U.S. Navy patrol craft.
What weapon is the dude from the far left using?
All of our ice breakers belong to the coast guard, which isn't military. The RCN is planning on getting some within the next decade or so
Wait, when Prince of Wales gets it's IOC?
probably a year or two after elizabeth.
Hmm, weird how they don't mention in the chart.

HMS Agincourt.
Can you?
it's permanently dry docked on display, they even took off the masts for a couple years.
it's pressing down of the lower decks without water distributing the mass
>it's permanently dry docked on display, they even took off the masts for a couple years.
>it's pressing down of the lower decks without water distributing the mass
Interesting. It's only 35 years older than the Constitution which is sea worthy and both have been to war so that can't be the issue.
It's decent, though it won't be asking for new contracts anytime soon.
The catapult was a British invention to begin with dude.
Also, Britain is hardly lacking in engineering talent so I have my doubts that the switch to a catapult was done for lack of tech know-how and not other considerations (budget, performance, mission profile, etc)
