Royal Navy will have two full size carriers (HMS Queen Elizabeth, HMS Prince of Wales) in the next decade - 75,000 tonnes displacement, 951 feet long. The planned carrier air group will boast 35 F-35C Lightning II STOL fighters

Are you putting RN, a true blue water navy with 800 years of history and ROCN on the same level?

ROCAF fought a lot of air battles and even launched the first ever sidewinder missile in anger in history, what sea battles did the ROCN fight?

Now that the Cold War era is gone, except for the PLA Navy and Indian Navy, all navies are now just a shadow of their former glory, even the US Navy.

Comments analytical and fact based wil certainly bring in higher quality discussions and  better than remarks such as  復條毛就有, especially when you are 版主, who should set a good example for the rest to engage in logical and educated discussions.

I wonder what is in the mind of the planners of UK naval strategy - I can imagine how the old "Invincible" class carriers would fit into the scheme of Cold War NATO war plan, taking an ASW role agains Soviet subs, but how would UK Carrier Battle Groups fit into modern US naval strategy?
