Very interesting indeed... especially considering how we already have a similar ship under construction; the TCG anadolu.
It's for scraping metal...not the first time...Very interesting indeed... especially considering how we already have a similar ship under construction; the TCG anadolu.

I'm pretty sure its not for scrapping as the scrapping is done by private companies who buy ships that have been decommissioned by the navy and are prepped to be scrapped. This ship is still in use and Brazil has signaled its interest in it for its own navy. We will see, I think our navy wanted a pure LHD with a minimal cost and the HMS plays perfectly into this region. The TCG Anadolu will be used by F35Bs and hopefully its sister ship too so having a cheap LHD to be used by ATAKs and ATAK 2s for the navy would make sense.
Also the HMS Ocean was built in 1998, the HMS Illustrious in 1976. Big difference.
3 "aircraft carriers" seem a bit excessive given our relatively little overseas economic interests. Are we planning on annexing Somalia or Qatar or something?
3 bases (2 overseas+1 Turkey)= 3 Carriers...3 "aircraft carriers" seem a bit excessive given our relatively little overseas economic interests. Are we planning on annexing Somalia or Qatar or something?
