If only we had an aircraft carrier full of harriers!

Now... where could we find a powerful aircraft carrier, fully equipped with Sea harriers, Sea Kings etc that's been recently refurbished and that's not due to leave service until 2019?

Oh if only we had something like that... oh we used to... INS Viraat, or as we used to know her HMS Hermes. It's strange how we're just retiring the ships that were meant to replace her and she'll go on for years! It's a funny old world

Kind regards

Very rarely leaves port, generally knackered, probably leaks.
It's going to be kept in service for training. India have an ex-Soviet carrier being refurbished for them and 2 new carriers being built.

It's where our international aid to India goes, that and their space programme.

Interesting video. Thanks for the link. It got me in the mood for a curry for some strange reason.
