Mighty ships.
 
. . .
The carrier is good, but not as advanced as 003 in terms of electronics, propulsion, launch system.
LOL, and how do you know its a less advance than type 3 Chinese carrier, LOL, RR and BAE has a vast experience in development/designing of propulsion and electronic systems than Chinese companies, and you just starts the designing/development of aircraft carriers, lol think first before you post

003 has EMALS enabling it to operate AWACs like KJ-600. Furthermore, the AESA complex on 003 is unparalleled in the world in terms of functionality and power.

Currently it’s not got any power or functionality as it’s not even launched

QE class is not alone and is accompanied by one of the best destroyers in the world, Type 45 so AWACS is not needed, and EMALS just for launching the aircraft, steam catapult can launch as many aircraft that your Type 003 able to launch but main advantages of EMALS is less stress and wear and tear on launching airframe

What a name; HMS “POW”. I know it stands for Price of Wales, but should it be sunk by the Chinese it may have to change its name to HMS “KIA”. J/K 😜
