British and American aircraft carriers in show of force

While we are small much i of what you say is just not true. The design of the QE class is designed to minimise crew, create a sleeker , automated and optimised ship that while yes they carry a smaller compliment the older us carriers were not designed in the way the U.K. carriers were.
QE class are the only barriers designed from the outset for the f35.
I can criticise much of the U.K. forces but the comments from our U.S. friends on QE are positive on a cleaner, more open easier and more comfortable ship than the older carriers. The Gerald Ford class while suffering teething troubles and late are a US attempt to bridge the gap between der carriers and 21st century. You must realise U.S. carriers on the whole really old now. While they are bigger , more capable and more costly the QE offers far more bang for your buck as a result if squeezed funding. It’s just a shame we lack aircraft , support ships and RFA support.

this government is woefully out of its depth. they’ve promised the earth to everyone, about everything and it’s a cheque that will bounce the navy,after the next review, will be smaller, not better. and banging on about our incredible carriers and cruiser sized frigates still not in the fleet, the frigates that are utterly knackered, the destroyers all six of them are getting flogged so hard that they will be worn out sooner than everybody expects it’s replacement still on the back of an old stationary shelf somewhere in the bilges of the MOD, the same den of incompetence and waste operated by the same people who made the mess we are in already

I find it bizarre we would want to be at the doorstep of the world most powerful industrial and populated country. China is not in our doorstep so why go to their region? That is how you start a conflict unfortunately and bleed UK tax payer

Back in the 1840s when we fought the Opium Wars, the world was already a small place and trade in China affected profits in Europe. Now, wars anywhere affect the world economy, including our own. A war between the world’s two largest economies over the producer of the computer chips we rely on, could easily collapse the UK economy and send us into a decade or more of economic depression.

Worse, China wishes to be the world dominant power and not just economically, while America wishes to keep that status for itself. Any such swapover would involve World War 3. So even if China could be trusted on Taiwan, and we’ve seen from Hong Kong it can’t, giving them free rein in the region would not only be a betrayal of other regional countries such as Malaysia and the Philippines it would prove to be nothing more than the opening salvo in something even bigger.

It is therefore in Britain’s sovereign interest to mix in now, while it can still have an effect, however small.

I did say, and I quote verbatim “Quote” Obviously in war time you would never combine assets like that, but in peace time, seeing 6 aircraft carriers sailing in formation would send a very specific and very strong worded message.”End Quote”

And if you really wanted to take out six separate CSGs would probably be no more difficult, just require slightly more missiles. There is not a thing in nato service that can intercept them, so anything of significant value within range is toast by default.

And then even that isn’t the easiest option. Although the other party would have to be insane, one or two tactical nuclear weapons per CSG would neutralise them with a near 100% certainty.

Delusional

They have been relentless in conducting hybrid conflict against the UK for the past 80 years. That has been the core mission of the KGB then FSB. Its why we invest in military intelligence and GCHQ as both misinformation and cyber crime are designed to undermine Democracy and support from the citizens, with specific attacks on key capabilities such as Public Health.
Kinetic effects would be an admission of failure in other Domains.
