French frigate Latouche-Tréville (D646) fighting heavy seas in the Bay of Biscay

The 65,000-ton (tonne) HMS Queen Elizabeth, Britain's soon-to-be newest aircraft carrier...



It's going to field the new F-35C (carrier version) when it's operational...in 2020.

Weird-looking thing, with the two islands...the front one for navigation and the rear one for aircraft ops.

But they do give some cover to an elevator.
Toonces - Don't ask me, I just close my eyes and take it.

Gus - I use sweatpants with flannel shorts to soak up my crotch sweat.

Banzai Cat - There is no "partial credit" in grammar. Like anal sex. It's either in, or it's not.

Mirth - We learned long ago that they key isn't to outrun Star, it's to outrun Gus.

Martok - I don't know if it's possible to have an "anti-boner"...but I now have one.

Gus - Celery is vile and has no reason to exist. Like underwear on Star.

At least they're not calling it a destroyer!

The Brits prefer "through-deck cruisers" when referring to their "not an aircraft carrier" aircraft carriers.

seen from where on USS  Los Angeles?

Looks like the USS Los Angeles might be a air ship (zeppelin).... took me a bit to realise the "pods" are engine mounts, plus the altitude of the shot...

QuoteAn artist's impression of the nuclear guided missile cruiser USS Long Beach (CGN-9) converted into an AEGIS cruiser, an unrealized facelift from 1977 or 1978.
