Let me borrow your ride: US gets UK carrier, while her captain gets the boot

The captain of the HMS Queen Elizabeth has just been relieved of command, reportedly over borrowing the ship’s car for personal use. Yet the US Marines are about to do basically the same with the Royal Navy’s flagship carrier.
Commodore Nick Cook-Priest, who took over as captain of the Queen Elizabeth (R08) in October 2018, has just been “reassigned” and ordered to sail the ship back to Portsmouth after a dry-dock refit.
“We can only say that management action is ongoing and it would therefore be inappropriate to comment further,” the Royal Navy said in a statement. Several UK media outlets, however, reported that Cook-Priest was reprimanded for using the ship’s official car, a Ford Galaxy minivan, for personal trips on the weekends.

Cook-Priest was not accused of fraud or embezzlement, and reportedly paid for the gas himself. Still, it appears that borrowing a ship’s official minivan is a career-ending mistake in the Royal Navy, and Cook-Priest will be replaced by Captain Steve Moorhouse, currently in command of the HMS Prince of Wales, the carrier’s sister ship still under construction.
The two 280-meter, 65,000-ton ships are the largest-ever Royal Navy vessels, though still dwarfed by the US Ford-class supercarriers.

A retired senior officer has criticised the Royal Navy for sacking the captain of the aircraft carrier HMS Queen Elizabeth over misuse of an official car, saying it “smacks of political correctness”. https://t.co/EcMGUo1dyA

Here is where things get ironic. The Queen Elizabeth, also known as Big Lizzy, was commissioned in December 2017, but is still sailing around without an air wing, due to the bottleneck in UK purchases of the US-built F-35B fighters. The fifth-generation stealth jet made by Lockheed Martin has been plagued by software and hardware problems, and is also one of the most expensive weapons programs ever.
Lockheed has designed three variants of the F-35, including a naval one, but the design of the British carriers – which lack a steam catapult, due to cost considerations – lock the Royal Navy into using the most expensive variant of the F-35, the S/VTOL F-35B, with a base price of at least $115 million (£90.31 million) apiece.
The UK has committed to buying some 138 F-35s over the next few decades, and signed a contract for the first 48, estimated to cost the crown £9.1 billion ($11.6 billion) by 2025, including training and maintenance.

Of the 42 F-35s the UK is supposed to have by 2023, 24 will eventually be assigned to the Queen Elizabeth – if all goes according to plan, anyway. Until then, however, the Queen Elizabeth is a carrier without actual planes. So the US military has proposed an inventive stopgap solution: Send in the Marines!
A USMC fighter squadron is currently preparing to deploy aboard the Royal Navy carrier sometime in 2021, said the Marine Corps’ chief aviator, Lieutenant-General Steven Rudder.
“It's going to be a wonderful new way – and I will offer, potentially a new norm – of doing coalition combined allied operations with a maritime partner,” Rudder said at the annual Sea-Air-Space conference on May 7, according to Military.com.
So the British taxpayers ponied up billions of pounds for building Big Lizzy only to turn it over to the Americans, yet Commodore Cook-Priest gets in trouble for borrowing a Ford minivan? What a deal.

UK still living in the past. The BE has long expired. Under-staffed and under-budgeted, its shrunken navy still want to show off and build 2 aircraft carriers.

Those two aircraft carrier are useful when it come to negotiating trade with china.put those aircraft carrier offshore shanghai or tianjin and wait for chinese to agree to british trade terms.
They did this 180 years or so and called it " gunboat" diplomacy.

Those were the times when China was weak during the "century of shame". If they dare to do it again, China will blast their carriers into oblivion.

You are spastic. No one believes a rapist.

Or maybe tge british, who invented the radar, found a way to detect stealth objects.making f-35 obsolete.

Aircraft carrier taking nude swim in the oceans.

Sad like fuck of the British especially they were the maker of Harrier Jump Jets, were once used by many navies including US & marines, Chow Ang Moh beggar technologies OBSOLETED. Made since 1967. Last production was 2003.

Pathetic for the entire West & Suckers Like SG53, depending solely on the F-35, all variants A + B +C are fucked!

1. Expensive $135M (depending of batch & variants)
2. Full of problems increasingly more & more and some are NEVER SOLVED
   1. PATHETICALLY SLOW ONLY MACH1.6 MAX -

• F-15=MACH2.5
  • F-14=MACH2.34
  • F-16=MACH2.05
  • F-18=MACH1.8
  • F-22=MACH2 (cruise MACH1.8)
  • Tornado=MACH2.2
  • MiG-21=MACH2.05
  • MiG-23=MACH2.35
  • MiG-25=MACH3.2
  • MiG-29=MACH2.3
  • MiG35=MACH2.2
  • MiG-25=MACH3.0
  • Euro Fighter=MACH2.0
  • Typhoon=MACH2.0
  • Mirage2000=MACH2.2
  • SU-24=MACH2.4
  • SU-27=MACH2.35

  • SU-35=MACH2.25
  • SU-57=MACH2.0
  • J-10=MACH2.2
  • J-11=MACH2.35
  • J-15=MACH2.4
  • J-16=MACH2.5
  • J-20=MACH2+ (MACH2.0 w temp AL-31F Russian Engine, MACH2.05 w WS-10 MACH2.5 w later WS-15 engine)(cruise MACH1.8)
  • FC-31(J-31)=MACH1.8
  • bombers:
  • Tu-160=MACH2.05
  • TU-22M=MACH1.88
  • B2B=MACH0.95

What it meant by cruise speed is very important that is the long distance cruising speed @ high altitude for long flights, which turned OFF after burner. After burners cannot but used for more than few mins, because using after burners spent fuel at 8X~10X normal & waste life span of engine @ 15X approx. The engineering sites of F-35 says a fully fueled F-35 will be out of fuel typically 8 min & Max 10 mins depending on steepness & altitude it climbed up.

F-35 cruise speed is only MACH0.85, can barely chase up Boeing 747
