Hope to see the UK get nuclear carriers that can do the same job, allowing for longer mission times and less ships to protect while also being able to free up supply ships to help other ships not in the CSG. "The ships normally carries enough food and supplies to operate for 90 days. Four distilling units enable NIMITZ-class engineers to make over 400,000 gallons of fresh water from seawater a day, for use by the propulsion plants, catapults and crew. The ship carries approximately 3 million gallons of fuel for her aircraft and escorts, and enough weapons and stores for extended operations without replenishment."
@@Durgesuth Apparently some ports dont alow nuclear powerd vessels to dock and we got 2 for the price of 1 over nuclear. also the 25yr lifespan is an issue with nuclear especialy if you sell them on like HMS Ocean. Its easier to re-build than refuel or de-comission a nuclear vessel . There are lots of other reasons and obviously they did the pros & cons thing before production but the main points are coverd above.

Admirable . Well done 👍
With Best Wishes.

Always impressive to see.
GrEaT to see women taking the jobs of men in this really important work for our nation.
Experienced many of these during my career.

Never understood why U.K. didn’t make these carriers nuclear propulsion as the U.K. is a world leader with its submarine nuclear propulsion…
@@Durgesuth nor do I especially when submarine reactors are much harder to build do to confined spaces.
the cost benefit doesnt work out. nuclear carriers are useful and a nice to hve but with out budget its not worth doubling the price of the carriers

Well done squires. keep fighting
Have they fixed the vibrations from the exhausts on the tide class that made multiple accommodations uninhabitable?
Yes, very impressive to see! Stay safe. God bless!
