UK debut for the F-35B later this year, will be flown by the United States Marine Corps and, as well as a flypast, will demonstrate the vertical landing capability of the new jet...possibly at RIAT  http://www.royalnavy.mod...ys-f35-to-make-uk-debut

Good news, the queen Elizabeth is to start sea trials this month before going to Portsmouth it new home. Also Prince of Wales will be afloat later this year. Meanwhile in a few months time they will be starting to build 8 of the new Type 26 frigates. Be great when these are released as kits. Especially the carriers they are huge.

Steve You think - the Royal Navy Flagship HMS Ocean is being decommissioned in 2018, it's being offered for sale to Brazil and no like for like helicopter carrier ship replacement that is designed to support amphibious landing operations - you might say two steps forward and one step back  https://ukdefencejournal...ly-offered-sale-brazil/
