New section needed on service availability since commissioning[edit]

A new section is needed on service availability since commissioning. This is particularly important with only two ships in this rôle. S C Cheese (talk) 18:48, 9 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. Somewhere, and I can see that from Australia, there is a bungle and the ship is being cannibalised as it says elsewhere. She will be out of action for long - if that is to be believed. Failures must not be swept under the carpet; in this sector that amounts to deceiving the population. 2001:8003:A070:7F00:50B8:CF93:1AD8:9D7C (talk) 06:36, 14 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I just thought maybe the propellers are made of titanium, or partly. Russia and China have an edge in titanium processes so as the ship is part of the war planning against these, there could be a supply issue. At the time of commissioning the enmity between the West and Russia/China was not as active as today. 2001:8003:A070:7F00:50B8:CF93:1AD8:9D7C (talk) 07:04, 14 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Both out of action again. 213.31.166.19 (talk) 15:22, 12 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

GA status[edit]

It's been 11 years since the last review, perhaps time for a reasessment? Figured I'd bring it up here first before going to GAR, so... thoughts? - wolf 23:02, 26 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Out of service in 2069[edit]

A parliamentary written response confirmed that the carriers are expected to serve until 2069. This should be added to the article.
