[The last I heard, the UK’s only aircraft carrier, the HMS Queen Elizabeth, had no aircraft.]

The Royal Navy still has submarines, does it not?

Although you are correct, the UK presently has but one “in service” air craft carrier. I do believe you are incorrect however, concerning it having “no aircraft”.

Routine peacetime deployment of twelve F-35Bs, but a typical warload will be 24 F-35Bs and some helicopters.
