I have the greatest respect and admiration for the Royal Navy, and of course that we are such great allies and friends. Excellent interview by both the interviewer and the First Sea Lord. Thank you.
RESPECTABLE? Does he get down on his knees for the queen elisabeth. You people are pathetic. He needs to back up to the beginning of WW2 to bring you up to speed. Your society is willing to compromise and the future will render you speechless. WEAK
Welcome back to carrier aviation, lads and, lassies!!! Glad to have you as a viable partner in sea-air dominance and, keeping open vital sea lanes so global commerce can move UNHINDERED BY ROGUE STATES, I.E. The People's Republic of China 🇨🇳, North Korea, Iran 🇮🇷, just to name a few!!!!!
making every single aspect a model of efficiency, tightened to every degree, then increase to 3-4 % GDP. ( focus on forward logistic preparation, and modular constructed force projection across multiple platforms ). Job done.
Uh, I doubt that will ever happen... we don't have the population to support ships like this, Maybe a light carrier but not a 3+ Billion pound carrier.
Very good interview this and well done to the Adm but moreso the Royal Navy. Give it another 100 year or so and our navy could be as great as it once was, ruling the seas once again.
"The build-up beyond 48 is important". Quite, when just one of these ships could take "70 plus" F-35Bs (using the PS platform as a metric), implying a balanced airwing of up to c60 each, all aircraft types, to equip them to something approaching full potential. While as for cooperation with other allies re maritime forces, the question really must be "who?" And let's be honest; the only credible answer must be "The US and other Anglosphere powers; our only real and reliable friends and allies!" Accordingly, our sellout government's attempt to hogtie us to every EU-run common defence/security project extant must be rejected absolutely and fought to the end!
Does this mean that the UK will have the second most powerful navy, even though its size and manpower will be a fraction of other navies? These essentially are American supercarriers with fewer but identical planes.
Well, mostly. Second most powerful will always be debated. The QE class will be able to achieve similar sortie rates as US carriers, though this will be using the F35B variant which trades payload and range for STOVL capability. This may be important when considering the ranged risk from enemies at which the carrier can be operated. Also, the B variant will require more maintenance due to being a more complex piece of kit, lessening the possible length of the carrier strike group's operation
Being UNSC members it's essential that both UK and France have at least 2 Nuclear Powered Super Aircraft Carriers. Being small size Nations and a small population in comparison to both US and China its essential that both UK and France have a Strong Navy with Aircraft Carrier capabilities.
I do agree the Royal Navy is small but there are more pressing matters to overcome rather than get more ships in our navy such as the lack of sufficient finding to the NHS and the Type 45 destroyer is a great example of Quality not Quantity as it is able to engage multiple targets.
I wish the RN could build a third QE carrier. Ideally to equip two strike groups at the same time. With three carriers, they could keep one of them in port at all times being made fully battle ready for future deployment. A rotational system.
@@chippledon1 the British government don't like a big military in peace times And the British military wont take any Tom Dick or Harriet just to keep unemployment figers down
The Dutch Marines don't have transport. The RN transport the Dutch Marines, who fight alongside our Commando force. NATO navies are better trained than lone navies. It's a good thing to work together.
People are underestimating the potential of this partnership with the US. The backbone of the US carrier fleet is the Nimitz class. Brilliant ships that have served well but they're 1975 tech and are coming up for renewal. This is a perfect opportunity now that the US are so integrated into QE class to replace some of the US LHD's/carriers with this class of carrier: ukdefencejournal.org.uk/us-navys-ambitious-350-ship-fleet-including-purchasing-queen-elizabeth-class-ships/
As for "choices made" to "take some money out of sustainability", they were entirely wrong and dangerous "choices" by recreant politicians of the worst type and must be remedied. Put simply, the minimum credible escort fleet is c30, NOT c19 and our force levels need rebuilding accordingly.
get the ship ready first.. This puts Britain at the forefront of carrier based sea power.. with the first integration of F35 fighters and their carrier..
Now, the Royal Navy should build a third and fourth aircraft carrier, working in the efficiencies that come with follow-on ships of the same class. (Think Essex- and Nimitz-class carriers.) After all, the Royal Navy is the "parent navy" of both the U.S. and Japanese navies. Rule Britannia!
Royal Navy potrzebuje stabilnej sytuacji w UK. Obie Partie wytwarzają ferment w szczególności Partia Pracy i jej Lider. Symboliczne wypłynięcie Queen Elizabeth na kursie do USA i Prezydenta Trump może wiele rozjaśnić. Tak trzymać.
Yeah you have a so-called "aircraft carrier" that does not have enough ships to form a battlegroup, that your navy calls, "strike group." The only naval force that your navy is going to strike is a group of pirate ships made out of wood, armed with cannons that fire round shots. Your navy is so cocky as it hides behind the naval dominance of the U.S. The naval and defense community around the world are both aware that its designation should be an Amphibious Assault Ship. it is closer to the size of USS Wasp than any CVNS. It is even significantly smaller than any U.S. conventional carriers that have been decommissioned the last 30 years.
slight problem. The F35 is a total lemon and cant be used in wet conditions lol. Even a tear drop will stop it flying. So it will make it totaly useless on a carrier. So far every test they have done on the F35 has failed or been riged to make it pass the tests. US airforce have already had several F35,s scrapped cause they got wet and were un-repairable. Not sure what the problem is but it has something to do with the Stealth coating getting wet or even damp. it cant fly through clouds so how is it supposed to get to its operational altitude? Isreal had to scrap 1 of theirs as well cause it got hit by a bird or a S100 depending on who u believe lol. Syria claimed they fired at it with a S100 and damaged it with a near miss. Isreal claim it was a bird strike. it landed ok but will never fly again. If it was a bird then how is it supposed to handle getting fired at. even a small rifle could bring them down. Australia r trying to cancel the order for the F35. The US airforce dont want them and have extended the life of the F16 as cover till a better fighter can be designed and used to replace it. Not 1 country that has the F35 want them and all say its totaly useless. But cause of all the money they spent buying them they cant afford to buy better planes. The F35 is curently the worst plane ever made even by US standards.
And a slight problem with your exaggerated tear drop story. One of F35 just had a accident during a refueling where the refueling basket came off and the F 35 engine ingested it and it didn't stop it from flying safely back to the carrier.
I have the greatest respect and admiration for the Royal Navy, and of course that we are such great allies and friends. Excellent interview by both the interviewer and the First Sea Lord. Thank you.
Adm. Sir PJ was very open and clear in answering. Good interview.
💋💖💙💖
Vago is the most respectable defense reporter on the planet.
RESPECTABLE? Does he get down on his knees for the queen elisabeth. You people are pathetic. He needs to back up to the beginning of WW2 to bring you up to speed. Your society is willing to compromise and the future will render you speechless. WEAK
Looking forward to seeing our British friends and their brand new state of the art carrier.
They need to build at least 2 more of these carriers.
No they don't! No nation apart from USA has more than thst or needs more than 2!
Putin watch out,and they commy Chinese
Actually the Brits should build 4 more of these carriers.
2 more of these carriers. I agree!
Always bringing the good stuff, thanks Vago !
Thanks so much for the support!

Excellent interview by the admiral in how the RN is now and wear it will be in years to come.
great interview and the adm explained alot whats going on with the RN :) looking forward to your next report
Great intelligent conversation. Reporter was excellent. Peace through Strength...

Always very informative .. great interview Vago
Great questions Vago, looking forward to seeing the Queen Elizabeth in an australian port one day.
Thanks so much for watching!
Ha, I'm Australian and I absolutely agree!
'm looking forward to Australia linking up with UK to build a couple of these carriers for the Oz navy
@@MartinIDavies think that will be a while off unfortunately .

i met this guy yesterday!
We need more aircraft carriers and more ships 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Royal Navy should be at least 100 warships the way our government treats our defence is shameful
I do agree the Royal Navy is small but there are more pressing matters to overcome rather than get more ships in our navy such as the lack of sufficient finding to the NHS and the Type 45 destroyer is a great example of Quality not Quantity as it is able to engage multiple targets.

We have to keep one in port due to the fact of not having enough sailors to crew her
@@daniellastuart3145 Why is that? Are there not enough incentive(s)?

@@johnwalsh3635 I was going to ask the same thing.
I dunno about having American marine on the ship aswell!!

We have a bar on board. The septics won’t be able to keep up :)
Cancel HS2 and build more ships for the navy money better spent safeguarding our country instead of destroying great swathes of the country side
