That is one meaning but there are others MAA clearance is another...hard to tell

Hmm there seems to be a lot of hot air and missinformation on this thread. 1.Ocean will eventually be decommissioned and the last i heard regarding the LPD is that it one in reserve and one active just like they used to do with incepid and the deathstar.maybe darbs knows a bit more. 2.regarding cats and traps its all to do with not being able to produce enough steam from its diesel propulsion not gas turbines as some one said. I do believe the J Arthurs have now fixed the electromagnetic cats problem but obviously too late for the UK hence F35 B. 3. Meanwhile nevermind all that harpoon has an out of service of 2018. So only the Mk8 4.5 offensive weapon unless you include torpedos and depth charges. Bit of a crisis i think comments ???? Addendum to my last. Spouting off a bit last night and clearly not SQEP on QE class propulsion....but they still cant produce steam. Anyway apologises if i have offended anyone. Sadly there are always issues in defence. Dave cant say about the Americans but since our harpoon dates from 80s (see the daily telegrsph)it a safe bet a fair amount of their fleets will be up to date. Anyone know about sub harpoon?

Not necessarily lmso. Need a new job with general atomics

I think that looks likeva pretty good availability to me good ASR well done the french

Ah bit of balance reporting for a change.....good job they have some spare capacity within the fleet just like us..umm well err maybe not

Got to say from my days popping up to wadders and doing the RAF thing of doing detachments from hotels....terible lol but the Sentry were new but that was early 90s so they are over 25 years old .....they require TLC . As for kapton wiring oòh that will be a big expensive long job to change.....nasty

Ah bit of joined up thinking wouldnt be amiss.....i dispair ...where is the light at the end of the tunnel......gloom gloom

You can only fly what you have the resources for be it manpower or equipment. Money is tight across all the platforms
