Second British Aircraft Carrier Launched

72
Yesterday, without special celebrations, the construction of the dry dock of the British shipbuilding enterprise Babcock Marine in Rosait (Scotland) was launched and towed to the outfitting quay of the aircraft carrier R 09 Prince of Wales - the second ship of the type Queen Elizabeth being built for the British Navy, reports bmpd.





The ship was removed from the construction dock under heavy fog conditions, which gave the action an additional touch of mystery.



“The production of sections of the second ship Prince of Wales was launched in May 2011, the ship was built in the construction dock No. 1 Babcock Marine in Rosaite since the end of 2014. The baptism ceremony Prince of Wales was performed on 8 on September 2017, the resource reminds.



The launch of the aircraft carrier for testing is scheduled for mid 2019 year. It is expected that the ship will reach alert in 2023 year.

It is noted that "Prince of Wales will be the largest ship of the Royal fleet в storiesBecause, in view of the changes and improvements made to the second ship project, it will have a full displacement of 3000 tons more than Queen Elizabeth (the design final displacement of the latter in most sources is defined as 70600 tons).

              Moscow. The 21st of April. INTERFAX.RU - The American F / A-18E carrier-based fighter bomber crashed while landing on the US Navy aircraft carrier Carl Vinson, Fox News reported citing a statement from the US Seventh Fleet. According to the statement, the pilot managed to eject, and he was picked up from the water. The pilot was not injured.

              The incident occurred in the Sulawesi Sea south of the Philippines during a regular flight F / A-18E. The military is investigating the causes of the incident. At the same time, according to Fox News, the statement is unclear what the current state of the F / A-18E is. The U.S. Navy carrier strike group, led by nuclear-powered aircraft carrier Carl Vinson, is currently moving from Singapore to the Sea of ​​Japan. According to representatives of the Navy, the purpose of these maneuvers is a demonstration of US power off the coast of the DPRK. The group is expected to arrive in the region next week.

                By the way, mig29k wasn’t even lost. Rather, partly. The 29th returned to the ship but there were problems with the cables and it was launched into the waiting area to wind circles above the ship. Here, honestly, the pilot is also to blame a little - he circled to the last, which ultimately led to the engine stopping on the glide path due to the complete exhaustion of fuel and had to leave the ABSOLUTELY CORRECT NEW MIG29 !!!! He had to send all these commanders in the ass and chuhim on Khmeimim - a maximum of a strict worker would have gotten it. Well, su33 here, of course, there is no doubt the cables.

                  England is a Great Sea Power, steadily observing the sacred maritime traditions. The aircraft carrier is named in memory of the battleship of the same name that participated in the battle with Bismarck, and, subsequently, died under Japanese bombs. On the Black Sea, the leader of “Tashkent” and the destroyer-seven “Impeccable” heroically died under German bombs. And where are the ships of the modern Soviet / Russian Navy, named in memory of THESE dead ships?

            Who cares?! The fact that Kuzya is a bucket of bolts and fuel oil and the combat value of Kuzya is not particularly high, against the Navy of the same "little shaves", I am generally silent about Americans. The trip to the coast of Syria was a purely propaganda campaign for domestic consumption, for a bunch of lards several planes were taken to Syria. Fell into the sea Drying and Mig is just the bottom! After all, they armed, coordinated the aircraft with Kuzi from the ground, and not with Kuzi, there wasn’t such a 24-hour continuous conveyor of bombing as the US Navy did.

It is not enough to have a large, combat-ready army; one must be able to relocate a sufficient part of these troops to the proposed theater of operations. Technically a very complicated operation.
