Why Queen Elizabeth Carriers Have Twin Islands? 

Because after you have watched this you can decide better which one to buy! :D

Not with an attitude like that, my guy

I've just put a down payment on my own air craft carrier and they said nothing about a second island! :/

Yeah, and why do I get the Jedi Cruiser stuck in my head? I guess the common theme is two islands.

What if there are three enemy carriers though????

Also, the rear island can separate and become airborne for strategic purposes, if needed.

Ah yes the titanic method

...and the second island for warm beer.

@@sameerthakur720 no that's wrong we have the Americans to thank for warm beer.

@@largol33t1 that's when you bring out the next carrier!

I mean single island carriers have that redundancy in the form of a CIC bunker deep within the ship. This could be a more space maximizing effort to give the air ops/traffic tower more space. I mean look at it. Its a full grown civilian airport control tower with massive windows and big screens compared to air control section of many carriers’ towers

If you need crew I’ll cook food or whatever

sure, but then you could presumably use a tactical broom to pound on the ceiling if they don't do as requested

I wont say there wont be times where things get a little hectic on the carrier. But since there isn't the same kind of problematic landings or the chances of them in the same way due to the vertical landing of the f35s versus of coursee arresting wire landings. So I suppose working side by side will be beneficial in this case. Something which they will be missing. But I do think there is advantage in less cross chatter so I think its also a good thing. :D

thanks for your insight!

I like where this is going

They were going to have two islands and a different deck layout but that never progressed, but i guess it's possible in the future to be modified and things installed if necessary. These are certainly some big ships, there's footage of this one with a nimitz ,very similar in size..royal navy carriers seem taller though

US and UK carriers operate very different aircraft, which are launched and recovered at very different airspeed. Didja notice the "ski-jump" ramp for take-off on the QE? None on US CVs.

Well it's been built to be retrofittable to handle CATOBAR in the future if deemed necessary - expensive though.

@@N330AA we just have to wait for the chinese to shave off the ramp for use so we can install the catobar as a retrofit.

True. But it is also good when function yields aesthetic beauty

We agree. Our comment about the “look” was a bit of a joke, but during our research we found out that some had actually criticized the design because of the the way it looks.

@@zeromii3234 Your comment makes no sense, I think you need to go back to primary school and learn to write effectively, you utter gobshite.

British design is top notch. Most Nato designs are designed in UK. Wired in Israel and coded in the Netherlands. The high precision parts are made in the UK. Shipped to Germany for tooling and fitting and then returned to the UK for final completion. Source I have an uncle in the army who works on the logistics of protecting all the tanks and fighter parts as they are shipped around the world to be finished off 10 miles away from where they get started. (Most aircraft spend more time being flown from factory to factory than on combat operations)

Aircraft carriers, and most modern aircraft carrier technologies are British Inventions. We industrialised the world.

@@elikorn8777 Both carriers were assembled entirely in the UK. Obviously we bought some components overseas, but they all came to the UK to be attached.

On my last USN cruise 1989 our ship operated two jet engines, essentially the same ones as on a DC 10. For six months, they were Never ever shut down. They would power the ship from full stop to 90% of full speed in just about 7 minutes. And it took another 5 minutes to achieve full speed.

They were efficient.

@AKUJIRULE No, it had separate electricity generator s also, if the Mane engines shut down.Ok to good range at 20knots. Point is you got nearly immediate power for speed, and the engines were robust, didn't break much. well armed. That is the Spurance class, all retired now. US Navy likes to keep fuel bunkers filled all the time. Great maneuverability. Good electronics suits. Lot off dependable bang for the buck.

I wonder if the two islands hate each other, then it would be proper British. Maybe they have football matches on the flight deck and it all kicks off.

@@Egilhelmson Modern warships are designed so that the engines can be removed through the funnel trunking, especially gas turbines that are changed after a specified number of hours, so yes, they do need to be directly below the exhaust.

@@stevek8829 them there colonists are making a pretty shitty job at democracy at the moment aren’t they......

Hi Nicolas, I have always been a massive fan of American carriers with their ability to launch and land almost anything with wings. Iwas deeply disappointed when we opted for the ski ramp over cat-n-trap. What are your thoughts?

@@gorway7 There's a difference in budgets per ship. The cost to build out American sized carriers is huge. Also the sizes of the crew are enormous. Britain doesn't have the budget to operate those huge resources. Steam launch (or equivalent) launch systems require maintenance and crewing too. Also, the British carrier is conventionally driven while American carriers are nuclear. Being nuclear powered ships, that can limit their ports of call or waters they can operate in. Nuclear powered ships also require an entire team of experts in those sciences on-board. Of course the more crew you add the more crew that's needed to service that crew and the more space you need for all of that plus their provisions.

@@gorway7 I wish you had went with the Electromagnetic launch catapult system instead of the ski jump. That limits you for length of aircraft. It also does away with the use of steam, which can reduce some heat and humidity on that section of the flight deck.

@@fakshen1973 The truth is that the UK can't afford any aircraft carriers with their tiny military budget As the UK wants to keep the subs with the rocket with their atomic warheads.

Carriers are fundamentally an invasion weapon Why would any peaceful country have one, let alone several?

You missed off VTOL aircraft !

So why is there no angled flight deck on this one?

@@NJ-wb1cz That's a very strange take on warfare. Countries that are unable to hurt the attacker are usually attacked. Have a chat with the Ukraine about whether an aircraft carrier would have helped them to ward off Russian attention in the Crimea. If you have a bigger stick than the bully, the bully thinks twice about taking you on.

@@EduardvanKleef Angled flight decks are for planes that are landing at speed. If the arrestor wire doesn't catch the landing plane, they need a safe exit strategy, which is basically to re-engage the engines and shoot off the side and come back around again. If they landed along the full length of the ship, the whole flight deck would need to be cleared to allow the emergency space for taking off again. This is why catapult-equipped carriers have their primary catapults at the bow of the ship, with angled flight deck towards the rear, so take off and landing can be conducted at the same time. F35Bs for the most part land vertically, so they don't need the same failed landing exit strategy. The Shipborne Rolling Vertical Landing procedure is the closest they get and is only needed for fully loaded (aka 'beast mode') and heavily fueled F35B planes returning to the ship when they are too heavy to land vertically. Even in this mode however, F35Bs can land in relatively short distances since their approach speed is much lower compared to conventional carrier aircraft and do not use arrestor wires to stop themselves. They also wouldn't have the airspeed to take off again if things went wrong so it is better for the QE class to allow them to roll to a gentle stop along the full length of the flight deck on those few occasions where it is needed.

Nah, just one to give to China when the lease runs out...

I'd have to disagree. I think carriers look aesthetic as hell, but I still have to agree with function over form.

Reasserting naval and expeditionary capabilities. Which was something Britain was great at up until the cold war.

@Goyim Shekelberg To be honest frigates would do the job just as well and be much cheaper and more flexible in terms of the roles they can fulfill. Todays naval warfare is more littoral than anything and with the increasing usage of small drones that could be used to carry explosives and etc. Large Surface ships of previous decades wouldn't survive very long in an all out war against a major power. That being said large ships do look cool but then again so do large Napoleonic line formations.

@Goyim Shekelberg Just because the US does something doesn't make it right or wrong each country has to use its resources to its maximum potential to achieve the goals of their militaries. For the American Navy its to project power across the globe and protect vital shipping lanes in multiple regions at the same time. The Chinese navy is mostly old cold war era soviet ships that are really for regional security. The few modern ships they do have the crews don't have vast combat or operational experience compared to say neighboring countries like India.

@Goyim Shekelberg You are right but we have come off topic. The main question was why does Britain need more large surface warfare ships like Destroyers meant for ship to ship action when their focus should be making more escorts for their carriers like frigates which can handle missions such as ASW and AA with much more efficiency. Destroyers are good to have dont get me wrong but a lot of the frigates in service with the Royal Navy where built and designed during the Cold War which was over 30 years ago no matter who much you retrofit and upgrade these ships it would in the long run be much cheaper to replace them with newer ships as the Royal Navy are doing with the type 26 frigates.

@Goyim Shekelberg You make it seem like the Indian Navy is the only one capable of having major accidents. This is the most recent one but if you look you can find countless accidents within the past decade in the us navy alone. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Bonhomme_Richard_(LHD-6)#July_2020_fire
