  1. Why? What the hell! Britain is an air craft carrier. I don’t see a need to be fighting Russia over in the pacific. Build a load of type 45 destroyers instead!

    Edit: ah, they got me! Forgot the date.

  2. HMS Prince Andrew for an aircraft carrier? Surely they should have said the Navy was buying special one man canoes that allowed you to get yourself up certain creeks without a paddle. To be called the “Prince Andrew Class”.

  3. Smh should’ve called it the HMS Woking Pizza Express On A Tuesday

  4. Are the other 2 operational without any design flaws? I hope the third doesn’t have the same issues as the first 2…

  6. Please Mr. Starmer take my money and protect me from Putin.

  7. When your April fools joke makes more sense than the actual government

  8. I ordered an aircraft carrier last week too. My last one was too big for the new hand luggage restrictions. 

  9. Huh? What about air defence? Troops? Tanks? We don’t have enough support ships? Type 45s? Another carrier means a shit load of F35s needed? The war against Russia surely would be predominantly a land war? Not understanding this.

    Also, our nuclear deterrent – surely focus on that being truly independent of the whims of the US ? Just seems like there are a myriad of military capabilities we would’ve needed before another carrier.

  10. Why, we don’t have enough escort ships for two of them?

    Why not instead build more T45s FFS

    EDIT: April fools guys lmao

  11. Even though it’s a good idea, todays the day you can’t trust Anything online

  12. Hahaha.. brilliant “Sources close to the Ministry stress that the new vessel, tentatively named HMS Prince Andrew”.

  13. Would it be too much trouble for the government to build enough aircraft for the two carriers we already have first?

  14. *One such voice was Bryan Robertson, a senior analyst at the controversial think tank DMCS (Daily Mail Comment Section)*

    Lovely stuff

  15. A play money on the 1st of April is the money UK can afford to invest in defence.

  17. Why we’ve got no fucking planes nor personnel to man these ship FFS

    Edit:- mother fuckers got me 😂

  18. I personally think we’ve outgrown April fools day, the news is ridiculous enough anyway

  19. That’s beefy, when was the last time we had 3 carriers?

    Edit: Doh!

  20. Do they run the same story every April 1st? I seem to recall it being called HMS Princess Diana last year.

  22. I just have – forgot it’s 1st April!😀 However any stupid idea from Defence procurement would never surprise me!
