English aircraft carrier entered the final stage of testing

101
The latest English Queen Elizabeth aircraft carrier can be adopted by the Royal fleet already in December of this year. According to navaltoday.com, the largest warship in stories The British Navy entered the second (final) stage of testing.

Final tests of the aircraft carrier should have begun last week. But because of the bad weather, they were moved, and the ship left Portsmouth only on October 30. The crew and acceptance team will spend weeks in the sea 5 – 6, after which the aircraft carrier Queen Elizabeth will return to the base, where the ceremony of its acceptance into the British Navy is scheduled for December 7.

English aircraft carrier entered the final stage of testing


The aircraft carrier Queen Elizabeth was laid down in 2009, and on July 4, 2014, Queen Elizabeth II gave the ship its name, breaking a bottle of Scotch whiskey about it (in deference to the Scottish shipbuilders). The beginning of the sea trials was repeatedly postponed due to the failure of the contractors, however, in the British Defense Ministry they believe that the ship, as planned, will take up combat duty in the 2020 year.

The British aircraft carrier is smaller than its American "brothers"; it does not have a nuclear reactor, a catapult, and is almost three times cheaper than ships of the Gerald R. Ford type. The length of the Queen Elizabeth is 280 m, the width is 73 m, the total displacement exceeds 70 000 t. The ship can reach speeds up to 25 nodes (46 km / h), and its autonomy is 10 000 miles or almost 300 days of sailing, transmits "Warspot".

            And what do you mean by that?
            Britain has become stronger and now climb to Russia?

            Or states with their ten aircraft carrier and all the rest climb?
            Or will NATO climb with all its armada?

            So far, they only tremble with their tongues, but they fight with lies.

            Nobody is proud of our corvettes, although the Americans will put the same Britain in any position (like all their allies) in spite of any aircraft carriers, but be afraid to get in touch with our corvettes

    And what kind of aircraft are the Britons going to place on it? There is no catapult. Is the Harrier again? And so that some sort of F-18 from the springboard could fly, I did not hear something. Or the hope that the F-35 Yankees will bring to mind?

          There is a direct deck area next to the diving board. There she will be
          (if they allocate money for the purchase + installation).

            Yeah. But there are no plans for its installation or funds for its acquisition. In fact, the British do not have the means to equip the air group in a timely manner - they plan to receive a regiment of 24 aircraft for the aircraft carrier only by 2023.
            Well, of course, you should not think that as soon as they purchase the F-35V, they will immediately rush to buy the F-35S and the electromagnetic catapult

          British aircraft carriers settled the Falkland issue in 1982. If it weren’t for the aircraft carriers (even if they were so poor as VTOL carriers), Britain would either have to wipe it out and put up with the fact that some Argentina was taking its territory by force, or use nuclear weapons.

                      I'm sorry, but I have to redirect you to the sources. In the Atlantic, wolf packs were defeated precisely by aircraft carriers, which:
                      1) Prevented Luftwaffe scouts from detecting convoys
                      2) DO NOT allow German submarines to escort convoys in the surface position (i.e. broke the tactics of wolf packs when they pursued convoys in the surface position, and attacked at night)
                      The presence of numerous destroyers / frigates / corvettes to a certain extent minimized the loss of transports, but the aircraft carriers achieved a fundamental victory (when the Germans began to pay 1 submarine for 1 sunken transport)
                      It’s ridiculous to recall the Pacific Ocean - it was the aircraft carriers that ensured the defeat of the Japanese Nihon Kaigun and the capture of the United States by the territories from which their Air Force and submarines destroyed the economic potential of Japan

Instead of investing in an aerospace plane, instead of increasing the radius of action of military aircraft, we are building it is not known what. Aircraft carriers are becoming a thing of the past, as they were once a thing of the past as airfields of a jump.

    I wonder when f35b get anyone in the know?
    it will be supposed to have an air wing before 2020, it seems, like they have upgraded or made helicopter drills.
    Of course there is no catapult and tankers, but it’s better than nothing anyway. with this aircraft carrier they can threaten any fleet. Only the United States and France have catapults, and they are friends.
    for the rest they will be a real threat.
    they have a very balanced fleet:
    1 - there are air defense destroyers, and the best in the world.
    2 - an aircraft carrier with an air wing will be in the near future.
    3 - frigate platype23 dukes have not yet exhausted their resources. Yes, and they are preparing a global battalion commander spike it seems to him to replace.
    4 - multi-purpose apl are new with astyut
    5 - apl strategists

    in addition to the United States, which have complete superiority over all, there are only the French, but they have only 2-3 air defense horizons and are inferior to dering. although charledegol has a catapult, and the rafals are still inferior to f35. we can say that the fleets are approximately equal, although the British are building a second aircraft carrier, and the French are not pulling the first from the dock. the second is not even planned. therefore, all the same, the piano will flit stronger.

    the Chinese are building a bunch of aircraft carriers, but there are problems with the wing. new destroyers TP 055, even so despite the secrecy it seems far from dering. Samson and missiles with agsn n the final section and super maneuverability in 60g. China does not have this.
    multi-purpose workers are behind them too. strategists too. the British are stronger, of course IMHO

    The Russian fleet is outdated morally and physically. replenishment in the form of corvetofrigates in the open ocean will not do weather. there are few ash trees and boreas. that's all. Kuznetsov in fact training. The total British in the open ocean is stronger.

    India has aircraft carriers with air wings, the rest are not close.

    it turns out this is the second fleet after the United States. China may catch up in the long run. so by the years 2030th

      Your question is very correct. Typically, the landing deck is located noticeably at 10 degrees to the left of the ship's axis of symmetry so that it is easier for the plane to go to the second circle if necessary. The British here decided to be special.

    Seems to have found words in a song! Similarly, the F-35B is not too favored abroad. Of the 11 countries that have expressed their interest in the JSF project, only two agree to purchase a “letter B” aircraft - Great Britain and Italy. Initially, the British contemptuously wrinkled their noses at the sight of the F-35B, hoping to equip their aircraft carriers with more decent F-35Cs. But then they didn’t have enough money for an electromagnetic catapult, and they had to take what Queen Elizabeth fits in her current, very unfortunate state. To alleviate the fate of naval aviators, the British promise to equip the Queen with a bow diving board.

    As for the cheerful naval forces of Italy with the funny-showy aircraft carrier "Cavour" - there are no long comments here. The Italians ordered as many as fifteen (!) Verticals in the interests of the sailors and also 75 machines (60 F-35A and 15 F-35B) for their air forces.

    The creation of the F-35B is impractical from a military point of view. The appearance of these machines is dictated by the desire of the Marines to emphasize their "exclusivity" and to maintain the continuity of traditions. Any other explanation is excluded here. this is from the article PROBLEMS AND DISADVANTAGES OF THE F-35B FIGHTER
    Feb 3, 20147479 4 / Oleg Kaptsov http://army-news.ru/images/logo270x92.png, topwar.ru/ so there is a problem carrier, or rather a HELICOPTER + 5-10 aircraft with vertical take-off and landing AND EVEN WITHOUT aircraft AWACS !!!

      This is a controversial statement. F-35B can be used from any large (and not so ship).
      From any helipad. That is, you can create mini-aircraft carriers.
      It has a smaller range than conventional deck aircraft and less bomb load during vertical take-off, but this is offset by the unexpected use where the enemy does not wait at all.

        Read the article that I suggested, I will make excerpts for you (this is not just an analysis of the F-35 family, this is an analysis of all aircraft with a short take-off and landing) -But ... Why the F-35B cannon weapons if it is contraindicated in maneuver battles? The available overload of the F-35B is only 7g (versus 7,5g for the deck modification and 9g for the land-based fighter) - with such characteristics, the vertical plane will not be able to catch the tail of most modern fighters. Even a slightly lower wing load and greater thrust-weight ratio, due to the lower take-off mass of the VTOL aircraft themselves, are not able to correct the situation - the F-35B is categorically unable to conduct close air combat. Only as BOMBERS? Yes, and the experience of using the yak-38 is a FORCED measure, and therefore the Kuznetsov design team was designed

            They fought mainly because of a negligible-emergency raid of less than 50 hours.
            And about the vertical take-off and landing on the F-35B.
            It is enough to take a look at its max take-off and empty weight, in order to understand - to take off and land vertically, it can be practically empty and with a combat radius of 130-150 km.
            The F-35B is still a STOVL aircraft.

                The Yak-38, with vertical take-off and landing with a 1000 kg bn, had a combat radius of 195 km.

                Wikipedia is cunning when it indicates the combat radius of your Harriers.
                The combat radius is indicated during take-off take-off and normal landing.
                With great difficulty, you will find the real combat radius at Harrier at vertical take-off and landing.
                But in fact we have.
                Your Harrier GR.3 had a combat radius of only 90km, with a minimum combat load.
                This greatly upset the United States and its Marines when they purchased it from England under the name AV-8A.
                Specially created in 80g, the ship's version of Sea Harrier was equipped with a "mega radar" ... from a helicopter, the effectiveness of which was very good and it was more suitable as a navigation radar.
                His combat radius did not exceed 130km.
                For this reason, it was used primarily as a STOVL aircraft.
                Since 1973, in the United States and England (jointly), attempts were made to deeply modernize this craft but to no avail spent (drank) a lot of money and the program was either closed or opened.
                Finally, in 1978 Harrier GR-5 (AV-8B) was born, the combat radius slightly increased ~ 200km and the aircraft remained STOVL.
                It entered service in 1985 and only in 1987 did a normal radar appear on it.
                This aircraft entered service in 1993 (!)
                By that time, our Yak 141 had already set 12 world records))
                And Yak 38 rested in a Bose in a place with his ships.
                At the expense of the "dead load" in the form of two PD RD-36-35FV.
                Its mass is .... 199kg
                199kg Carl.
                But your Harrier was supposed to drag the oversize engine by weight, the thrust of which in flight. Was not really used due to the bifurcated nozzle.
                For comparison
                R27V-300-weighed 1350kg
                Pegasus 11-61 weight 1796kg
                The difference in weight is the same 400kilo.
                So, a hundred winnings are not there.
                By the way, this absurdity was repeated already on the F-35B — its lifting “windmill” weighs ... 1800kg (!?) With the same thrust of two taxiways 41 (290kg x2).

                  You, in my opinion, do not understand that the same Harrier, after completing the assignment, could calmly return to AB using his radar, which is very useful, given the limited radius of action and time spent in the air. And our pilot on the Yak-38 could only rely on his own eyes, despite the fact that if the TAVKR hacked the flight control system, then he unmasked himself on a half-ocean.
                  This is just one of the many advantages of having a radar over its lack.

                  For this reason, it was used primarily as a STOVL aircraft.

                  Let’s clarify - in combat, the Yak-38 could be used in the same way

                  Its mass is .... 199kg

                  Most likely still 205, but who counts them for you? :)

                  But your Harrier was supposed to drag the oversize engine by weight, the thrust of which in flight. Was not really used due to the bifurcated nozzle.

                  Let's clarify :))) The power of the Yak-38 marching engine was about 6100 kgf, while Harrier had 9100 kgf, that is, in flight Harrier, having a comparable mass, was 30% more armed. I guess you don’t need to explain what this means in aerial combat
                  And this, by the way, among other things, also means less fuel consumption at cruising speed.

                  This aircraft entered service in 1993 (!)
                  By that time, our Yak 141 had already set 12 world records))

                  Yeah. Among the VTOL aircraft, you forgot to add :))) The plane, one and a half times more complex than the MiG-29 and barely reaching it in terms of certain characteristics, in 1991 was still not close to the series.
                  I more like the following VTOL aircraft from Yakovlev - with engines from stratobombs ... in my opinion, Yakovlev Design Bureau set itself the task of comparing the cost of a VTOL aircraft with an American aircraft carrier

    PROBLEMS AND DISADVANTAGES OF THE F-35B FIGHTER
    Feb 3, 20147479 4 / Oleg Kaptsov, topwar.ru/ read the article about f-35b, although the analysis of the whole family is 35, but judging by the runway, there will not be a catapult, there will be no AWACS aircraft, so the "budget" version of the aircraft carrier Also, the F-35B is not too favored abroad. Of the 11 countries that have expressed their interest in the JSF project, only two agree to purchase a “letter B” aircraft - Great Britain and Italy. Initially, the British contemptuously wrinkled their noses at the sight of the F-35B, hoping to equip their aircraft carriers with more decent F-35Cs. But then they didn’t have enough money for an electromagnetic catapult, and they had to take what Queen Elizabeth fits in her current, very unfortunate state. To alleviate the fate of naval aviators, the British promise to equip the Queen with a bow diving board.

    As for the cheerful Italian Navy with the amusing and ostentatious aircraft carrier "Cavour" - here long comments are unnecessary. The Italians ordered as many as fifteen (!) Vertical flyers in the interests of sailors and another 75 cars (60 F-35A and 15 F-35B) for their

    there is an aircraft carrier, but with an escort, trouble!

    I never would have thought that bad weather could become an insurmountable obstacle to testing the ship. In bad weather, you can certainly find out what the ship is capable of and what not ... Although maybe I'm wrong?

      Yes indeed?
      What is there to envy?
      A certain continuation of the freaks of the tiap "Lastastris" and "Invesible" a little in large sizes.

    It has an F-35B. They have already been bought, pilots are training for them.
    In the future, part will be replaced by F-35C

    F-18s can take off from a springboard, but the British will not have them.

    A place for an electro-catapult is provided.
    There is a direct deck area next to the diving board. There she will be
    .

    These are your fantasies - there is no place for a catapult - there is a simple sponson as a technical position.
    There is no diagonal section of the deck and with its length it is clearly not enough to land the F-35C.
    Example aircraft carrier of France "Charles de Gaulle"
    Shorter done, now they think. What to do next.
    In fact, this is an attempt to copy our project 1143-4 (TAKR Kuznetsov), though without aerofisher and a missile strike system.
    Probably they were led to the fact that the F-35B will be brought closer to the Yak41. And it will completely replace conventional aircraft with a similar MiG29K.
    A clear saving was drawn on the landing gear and ship length.
    A little shorter and a meter wider.)))

    Here you are categorically mistaken, decked aircraft showed worse performance, much. the worst

    Where? I gave you a link to the material, which gives the number of sorties on a plane in the Drill in a Glass, which is equivalent for land and sea aircraft. At the Falklands, British decks flew much more often than Argentine land aircraft. I am silent about the WWII - there is NONE an example where ground aviation would defeat an aircraft carrier formation. Tell me, where and when did the decks show the worst performance?

    Aircraft carriers are becoming a thing of the past, as they were once a thing of the past as airfields of a jump.
