Dave Batt Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 I was told the Navy needs classes of ship in multiples of three to create a viable chance of having one available; one at sea, one in dock and one in refit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martian Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 I was told the Navy needs classes of ship in multiples of three to create a viable chance of having one available; one at sea, one in dock and one in refit. Common sense should have told them that years ago! Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alpine_modeller Posted September 6, 2014 Author Share Posted September 6, 2014 (edited) Well 2 is deffo better than 1, in that case. Besides, I thought there was a train of thought that better modern design gives longer refit intervals, shorter refits, and the ability to have one carrier always available from a fleet of 2..

Ex-FAAWAFU Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 The 3 to 1 thing also assumes that each ship keeps its own ship's company throughout, which modern ships do not. Now all we need is a proper RN-manned Air Group (& the re-commissioning of 809 NAS is a great start)... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
