I wonder why they didnt go for a pointy bow? Surely drag will slow the ship down?
This angle really highlights the ski jump which reminds me of what a shame it is that they did not invest in a catapult system as the ships are designed for. Or for a nuclear propulsion for true independence. France recognized and prioritized both features which is why they are the only other power to operate a catapult, nuc powered carrier atm. It’s almost as if the UK downgraded themselves to be an auxillary force under US command..
I guess there’s no news to go with this anyway… Stupid post.
