Excellent training in a real hostile and potentially dangerous region…awesome and much needed exercises to hone the crew and ship into its BEST…mentally and physically! Good luck guys! NO MATTER HOW EXPENSIVE AND GOOD YOUR EQUI0MENT…it’s the crew that will make it a powerful projection of power… more “live fire” exercises will be essential and critical. Can’t be a bean counter when the lives of its crew is on the line. This is not a cruise ship to “see the world” ..it’s a warship.
@@Patient-Unknown ah, BATUS is British Army Training Unit Suffield, Canada. A Beaver is a light aircraft used by the Army Air Corps. I take it your not British Armed Forces or you'd have known that. Or maybe you're on something.
The RAF and RN have F-35's, if you had taken the time to look it up, we are currently conducting training exercises with US forces, hence there are American jets, and if you pay attention, there are also plenty of RAF jets on board.
@@Then.72 I don't quite think that's the entire truth mate, the US has more Carrier experience than we do, both VTOL and Catobar, unlike us they've continued to use their AV-8Bs whilst we went completely carrierless for over 11 years....
"A big massive army"? What planet are you living on? 72000 trained strength, smaller that it was in 1815 when we were fighting Napoleon and the UK population was about 6 million,. not 68 million!
The UKs army isn't there for defence it's there to project, moving and supporting 72000 troops is about as much as the current logistical setup can handle. The navy needs to grow to increase that much. Wars between near pier rivals won't look like they did 70 years ago in the future.
Difference being that was during war time. Britain has usually kept a relatively small army during peace time anyway, only to ramp up in times of large scale war.
No colonies to exploit for resources makes sustaining a big navy difficult. Anyway they can continue supporting dictators in the gulf and carpet bombing Yemen.
Modern man is not the man who goes off to discover himself, his secrets, and his hidden truth; he is a man who tries to invest himself in something beneficial for the future.

Good for the UK. Keep rebuilding your navy, hope to see you with nuclear carriers before China. Glad to see you near the strait pushing against Iran. Keep up the amazing work.
You always comment this. The UK is not going to be getting nuclear carriers. And we don't need them. These are going to be the biggest ships the RN have for decades until their replacements.
@@peterlloyd8313 Nuclear carriers have less maintenance then conventional and only need refits every 20+ years... "Time periods between ROHs on a ship have varied historically from about 5-20 years (for submarines) to up to 25 years (for Nimitz-class aircraft carriers)"
Sort of. We are the only Tier One Partner in the F-35 programme and build some 20% of every F-35 built regardless of type or customer. So promoting LM is directly supporting UK aerospace.
@@1chish Really? So why did you reduce your orders of F35's & invest in the Tempest program? I'm Australian & worried Lockheed Martin is far more concerned with Profit Margins than Quality Products...
@@tsubadaikhan6332 Nice try at fabricating a falsehood to platform your question. The UK has not reduced our orders for F-35s. The current one for 48 is unfulfilled by some 27 airframes. The UK's First Sea Lord (now the Chief of the Defence Staff) clearly indicated further orders to 90 aircraft. The 138 was never an up front requirement. It was the proposed number required over the life cycle of the aircraft in UK service. Tempest has nothing to do with F-35B service. It is an entirely separate programme with its own funding that will replace Typhoon when THAT airframe is out of service. Circa 2030. As for your last opinion well all I can say is UK F-35Bs have operated as designed from day of delivery. If Australia has any sense it will get involved in Tempest as it will be the only realistic Gen 6 alternative outside the USA which will never release its own advanced aircraft as it didn't release the F-22. Oh and buy the UK Astute not the US Virginia subs 🤣
Not so much about protecting this area, as much as it's free real estate with a commanding position over the Horn of Africa and on the doorstep of the Persian Gulf.
I wish I was defence secretary I'd make sure we had at least 5 of these ships we're going to need them, the world is becoming a more dangerous place , Britain is an island, we need to protect our trade routes.
I hate to be one of those trolls but someone needs to tell Benny-Boy we don't have a "Great Big Army", Navy or Air Force anymore. In fact, technically it should be referred to as a Defence Force.
Can't even reach Mac 1 ha ha ha - The F15 EX can carry 3 times the weapons load and is Mac 2+ Twin engines and only 10 million more. It is having to fly with F35B planes as it is a useless Dogfighters. Why didnt you buy the F15E? 3 - F35B have crashed in a Just One Month?? At 80 Million each. The upgraded F15EX is 90 million upgraded.!!! Who is the idiot buying this one engine junk?
Oh dearie me here we go. There are 18 F-35s. 8 are British, 10 USMC. And the ONLY reason there are more USMC than British is the delayed deliveries from LM of the 48 we have ordered so we only have 21. 3 are in California integrating weapons for all F-35s, 8 on CGS21 and the rest are with OC217 training the stream of new pilots we need. As we saw with 3 testing off HMS Prince of Wales. The USMC are there because they WANT to be there not because we NEED them.
Charlie B, oh deary yet another Charlie!! Lol There are 28 aircraft onboard, 10 American and 18 British!. If the Americans would get on with building the remaining order of British f-35's, then they would all be British!. Stop being a CHARLIE....😂😂
If you mean the F35B VTOL then you will be shocked to find that it's more British than you think as the Russians copied most of our technology through spying with the Yak38 being identical to the Harrier and UK companies like Hawker Siddeley and Rolls-Royce having Supersonic designs, Russia also spied on Concorde. BAE Systems and Rolls-Royce play a major part in that aircraft which is why the UK are involved in buying it and why the USA asked the UK to be a part. Our pilots are probably teaching yours the Rolling Landing just a shame we have to wait longer for delivery
I know it's what they said to Churchill in the 30s every time he pointed out the German build up in forces and how Britain should build more... warmonger!
Come on now, there's no need to get angry with me, just because their playing hide and seek. it's only a game, just calm down and don't get upset about big boats and where their hiding.
