I love the salesman's line Britian "has global interests," what global interests? I sometimes think the government and MOD have forgetten that we are no longer an empire. Are we spending all this money so that Argentina won't invade the Malvinas again? If so then I'd prefer we give them the stupid islands which are nothing but a drain on the British taxpayer.Click to rate <a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/home/moslive/article-1100714/The-4billion-Airfix-Kit-Behind-scenes-Britains-biggest-warships.html#">http://www.dailymail.co.uk/home/moslive/article-1100714/The-4billion-Airfix-Kit-Behind-scenes-Britains-biggest-warships.html#</a><a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/home/moslive/article-1100714/The-4billion-Airfix-Kit-Behind-scenes-Britains-biggest-warships.html#">http://www.dailymail.co.uk/home/moslive/article-1100714/The-4billion-Airfix-Kit-Behind-scenes-Britains-biggest-warships.html#</a> Rating   1- Ben, Oxford, 28/12/2008 18:25These ships are white elephants. I started life as a trainee naval architect in 1977. I predicted that the ships being built then would not survive a war because they had no armour, were made of flammable aluminium and had hardly any missiles in order to save money. Unfortunately I was proved right in the Malvinas war and that was at the hands of the miniscule Argentine miltary. "Money has also been saved in side armour protection" - Well done, maybe Gordo will donate it to India or Pakistan. Oh and don't worry about Exocets! "The CVF's first line of defence is the frigates and the new Type 45 destroyers around us. Our only self-defence is close-in weapons systems and small guns." - Insane, close-in Phalanx guns run out of ammunition very quickly. That's why US carriers have multiple missile systems and they've already cut 4 of the planned T-45s! "Instead, what you have on the ship is 36 of the most lethal aircraft ever made" - Good luck stopping a torpedo or missile then!Click to rate <a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/home/moslive/article-1100714/The-4billion-Airfix-Kit-Behind-scenes-Britains-biggest-warships.html#">http://www.dailymail.co.uk/home/moslive/article-1100714/The-4billion-Airfix-Kit-Behind-scenes-Britains-biggest-warships.html#</a><a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/home/moslive/article-1100714/The-4billion-Airfix-Kit-Behind-scenes-Britains-biggest-warships.html#">http://www.dailymail.co.uk/home/moslive/article-1100714/The-4billion-Airfix-Kit-Behind-scenes-Britains-biggest-warships.html#</a> Rating   1- David Mann, London, 29/12/2008 5:01Well just to answer the few comments already given. Nuclear power, Well too expensive. You see in the UK we don't have a massive defence budget and looking at the issues the French have had with the CDG and its nuke powerplant going conventional seems a wise decision. As for being white elephants. Well you arm yourself not for today but for the war tomorrow. We can't always rely on the US to provide carriers, and what happens if the Argentines decide to try for the Malvinas again? It could happen. Well the US don't have multiple missile systems. The CVNs rely on the AEGIS with the SM-2 and then there is phalanx CIWS which I personally question how effective they would be against a Mach 3 Russian ASM if it got through the ASTER missiles so CIWS is a last chance saloon. I hope they continue if only to keep shipyards alive.Click to rate <a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/home/moslive/article-1100714/The-4billion-Airfix-Kit-Behind-scenes-Britains-biggest-warships.html#">http://www.dailymail.co.uk/home/moslive/article-1100714/The-4billion-Airfix-Kit-Behind-scenes-Britains-biggest-warships.html#</a><a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/home/moslive/article-1100714/The-4billion-Airfix-Kit-Behind-scenes-Britains-biggest-warships.html#">http://www.dailymail.co.uk/home/moslive/article-1100714/The-4billion-Airfix-Kit-Behind-scenes-Britains-biggest-warships.html#</a> Rating   (0)- Bob Hope, Inverurie UK, 29/12/2008 18:28Y la gran mayoria se quja de qu no sean Nucleares, y muchos creen que no van a aser construidos.Por cierto que algunos nos tienen bien presentes todavia....</blockquote>
