I'm a retired US Paratrooper and trained quite a bit with the Brit Dragoons. They were the real deal, much respect. I feel like in much the same way, when two men have a fair, knock down drag out fight, win or lose they seem to have a new found respect for each other and more often than not become good friends, so is the US Brit relationship. When other countries see conflict, I'm not a fan of the US being the world police and feeling obligated to involve, however, if England were to be attacked, we would be there no questions asked with no holds barred.

I have to agree that it would be practically impossible to take over the country itself. Probably closer to 150 million gun owner with almost 400 million guns. Considering the population of the US is 320 million people. So, nearly half of the population owns at least one gun with more guns existing than people. 99% of the gun owners in the US are responsible but it’s the other 1% that continually make the news and puts our 2nd Amendment rights in jeopardy. As long as our 2nd Amendment exists and we are allowed to bear arms, the US soil is completely safe from a hostile takeover from other countries. From our own government, however, is another story thus the reason for the existence of the 2nd Amendment. For those that hate the fact that we are a very well-armed nation with strong allies around the world should be thankful that we are not currently speaking German right now and will not be speaking Mandarine Chinese in the future.

I think you are confusing the patriotism of your ancestors for your reverence/worship of those ancestors - they are not the same thing. Ancestor reverence/worship is a very common practice that predates Christianity - there's no shame in calling it what it is, and considering that it is often observed by Christians (visiting graves at Church cemetaries) despite having nothing to do with Christian religion there is no shame in it from that perspective either. Also learning "learning from and respecting the wars my ancestors fought and died for" is just basic history education - without this people are doomed to repeat past mistakes over and over again, sadly the US and us Brits keep making those same mistakes anyway.

There are aspects like that all over the military. There are a lot of aircraft and weapons that never see the light of day despite being superior in most every way to what is currently being used. Sometimes it comes down to resources that are rare or expensive to produce, other times is about specific components that aren't reliable or costly and time consuming manufacture, other times it would just take to long to retrain general soldiers to use them. Then there is always the time issue where in a product can be in development so long that is becomes out of date by the time its ready to be used. It wouldn't surprise me if 1 concept makes it to the battlefield for every 20 - 30 that never see actual combat for a variety of reasons.

The STOVL one that you guys bought. So the US actually has 21 carriers. Super carriers mass 100,000 tons, the "baby flattops" mass 45,000 tons. HMS Queen Elizabeth masses 65,000 tons for comparison.

As a country isolated by ocean getting all of our military might to other places is a Herculean effort that is mind-bogglingly complex.

I know Britain’s hate us owning guns, but..... this is what keeps us free and the reason we have never been attacked on the ground. Other than from the British way back when. The number of armed citizens in the U.S. is larger than all of the worlds militaries combined. If someone would attempt to invade us, it’s not the military they would have to fear, but the people who own this country. To put some in perspective, and I apologize if I have stated this already before, but many complain about our guns and the number of deaths from guns we have. Let me give you another number. There are 3 times more people killed in the states by drunk drivers every year, than by guns, but nobody ever mentions that. More people are killed with hammers than guns. More people are killed with fists than guns. Guns are used more often to save lives than to take them in the United States. Just stay out of Chicago, New York and Michigan. Chicago is the hardest city to be able to own a gun, and they have the highest gun crime in the country. Where there are more legal gun owners, gun crime is the lowest. Criminals do not want to be killed and we do not want to shoot anyone, but I will to save a family member. Remember too, when the police arrive, the criminal has already killed you. The police are not to prevent crime, but to investigate it after it has already happened. It was that battle with Britain that made them add our God given rights to keep and bear arms, to the constitution. I am glad we are all friends now. Just wished the rest of the world would follow suit.

Most Americans, including myself, view the British as our brothers and sisters. Technically, we are your children. We were a colony of the British that fought for and won our independence, but still most of our laws and much of our culture is due to the British. So most of us have very strong and positive emotional ties to the U.K. (Now if we could only speak proper English... lol ) A few months after the attacks of 9:11 and after we had launched attacks into Afghanistan, (Which the British Army was part of) I met some U.K. Soldiers who had been training in North America. They were on a short leave before heading off to Afghanistan. I was so overcome with emotion... because for my whole life, and long before I was born, the United States had always sent troops to help our friends and allies, especially Britain in World War 1 and 2. But now during America's time of need, British soldiers had come to our aid. There were about 6 British troops at the bar, and I paid for their meal and all their drinks as a show of respect and kinship. I ended the evening with a toast. God Bless America and God save the Queen. We will always be friends.

It’s nearly impossible to sink a carrier as it’s so well armored. We actually fired at a decommissioned one from right before the Nimitz class as target practice and to build an artificial reef. We fired so much ammo and missiles into it but nothing happened except scorch marks. It took explosions below the waterline and ten times more explosives than what was needed to do the job as the decommissioned carrier took everything yet still stood tall on the ocean. We actually moved the armor to the Nimitz class or at least the blueprints to get the best out of it. We kept the best design and gave it new life. Now the new ford class will likely be even stronger thanks to a retool of the old armor design. The guns are still being tested but rumors are swirling about a rail gun or em gun on the carrier.

Blueprints also don’t say a specific office or space it simply says office number or main office or captain office or VIP room as you honestly don’t know who or what will take that office or space just that it will be taken.
