Tubs Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 The greatest superpower ever, reduced to selling an aircraft carrier that would barely class as a tender for the Americans and took 7 years to build. Now, our armed forces are French. I wonder if I can emigrate to Mars. Tubs Quote
Mark (smokey mow) Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 IIRC Invincible had been laid up for a few years now and was being robbed for parts to serve Illustrious and ark royal so now supprise it's missing so many parts now. Last time I saw her was probably 10 years ago and was wrapped up in plastic mothballed then. Quote
ajpearson Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 It was 2005 that she was mothballed. Held at 18mths notice to move there after. And yup anything good from her were stripped for the other two Quote

Man On The Clapham Omnibus Posted January 19, 2011 Posted January 19, 2011 How can it have a mere 10,000 tonnes of metal and still displace 17,000 tonnes? What is the phantom 7,000 tonnes? Quote

Norman Verona Posted January 19, 2011 Posted January 19, 2011 The 7000 tonnes is made up with Schroders cats and Pavlos dogs and some string..... Quote
