Quote of the Moment

The only time an aircraft has too much fuel on board is when it is on fire.
Sir Charles Kingsford Smith, sometime before his death in the 1920's.

You can't hide a CVBG, or a single (vulnerable) carrier for long from Satellite surveillance for ever, even with Electronic Warfare. You might lose it for a few hours at most, but thats all. Now you're claiming no-one will dare attack a carrier using a sub(like no-one would ever attack Pearl Harbour...

Here's the answers to your points, in no particular order. The UN Treaty is not enforceable, it's not even worth the paper it's written on. And isn't a carrier a very big, hard to hide (unlike a Ohio class Boomer for example) "expensive floating base", which is less survivable against subs...

It could be argued that current large carrier plans are motivated more by issues of national pride and politics, than by serious strategic considerations. The current resurgence of interest in conventional carriers makes an interesting sea change from the view of most nations in the 1970's and 80's,...

Will the Nimitz class and other large carriers be obsolete ? No. And why do nations and naval experts from the world's leading navies all desire carriers. The leading navies in the world including the US, UK, France, Spain, Italy and to a very limited extent Russia all operate aircraft carriers of s...

Here we go again, almost two years later! For those who don’t know what I’m talking about: you didn’t miss anything, don’t worry! First, my definition: a «Fleet Carrier» is any aircraft carrier that operates first and foremost as part of the fleet, providing air cover and adding to the overall firep...

While I’m on the topic of discarding retired aircraft carriers, here’s something else I’m wondering. With the Constellation’s decommissioning there are now six retired super carriers lying around at various naval stations across the country. Of the six only the Ranger and the Independence are being ...

A report (on PA2 propulsion) from the defence committee of the French parliament will be published next week (November 5th), first leaks indicate that it favours the nuclear propulsion. A lot of rumours are reporting that the final decision (end of this year – beginning of next year) will be mainly ...

This in order to inform actual and future pax on these planes in the Globalisation process. US airlines are more liberal/generous about distributing pax/seats information. Un fortunately in Europe they try to hide most of it. Why ? You could see examples of this on TV programs like Airline, Airport,...

Hi Bart,

I see that you have an answer to everything.
Eventhough you do not fly on 777's you know the plane from inside out.
Me too I prefer seats with no seats in front of me (as a passenger of course).

Yes Flybe,

But I am astonished not more members talk about it on this site.
