Thought you might be referring to the Habakkuk project.

Looking back at the way things unfolded with the Falkland's it may have been a case of could they not afford it. As it was the carriers they did end up getting were at the end of their life just as things got hot People often forget all defence spending is for insurance you hope you will never need

When we see HMS, on the front of a navy ship , I assume they are all part of the family of nations , that calls there ships HMS.??? I don't know but I would have thought that collectively if you attack one , you have attack all . Not sure if things have changed , since ww1 ww2 , It's good to see we have good relations with NZ., Canada , and UK. ...

The Invincible Class did their job albeit small. One of them is still in service as a helicopter carrier.

First ever to have the "ski ramp" which has been copied by everyone else.

The new Queen Elizabeth class look impressive although I understand there is still no suitable aircraft for them yet.
