| #5 Interesting. I would have named it MAGGIE THATCHER, but that's just me. |

| #4 I noticed that it didn't seem to have the jump ramps used by Harriers. |

| #3 Lovely vessels. With the F-35 (or whatever the British name for them is, anyone know?) this will pack a serious punch. Well done, chaps. |

| #1 Pretty, but that double island cuts into deck space and visibility over the flight deck forward and to starboard. I didn't listen to the video if there was sound. How big are these things supposed to be and are the nuclear-powered? |
