They built their carrier but have no planes. And now American squadrons will be their air wing? Fine, but as long as that is the case, the ship must be under the command of a US navy officer.
Shameful for American jets to be the combat element of a British navy ship.

A British ship with American aircraft? They can build ships but not planes? I've been on You Tube recently looking at WW2 videos about naval engagements involving the Royal Navy and our navy. Almost 8 out of 10 comments by Brits are entirely and arrogantly sneering and contemptuous of the American navy and the heavy lifting we did as a two ocean naval power.

“inevitably be used in a context of allied operations of some kind, if used in a contested environment” Welcome to the world of aircraft carriers, AKA, large, easy targets,
At least without massive escort presence.

I hope they have all of the radar jamming bugs out of the 35’s. Didn’t they have trouble with their systems acting as a beacon to enemy instead of jamming them? I hope I’m wrong.

They would have done better to have spent their money on very fast and capable destroyers and heavy cruisers.

19 frigates and destroyers? Australia has 11 and our GDP and population is half the UK’s.
How the mighty have fallen.
