British aircraft carrier Queen Elizabeth ("Queen Elizabeth") will be sent to the Pacific waters to contain the military power of China and demonstrate the military potential of Great Britain. This was announced in a report from The Times.



The British press reports that the head of the military department of the United Kingdom Gavin Williamson made an official statement. In it, he emphasized the need to use “hard power” to protect the interests of Great Britain. In order to demonstrate the seriousness of its intentions, the aircraft carrier will be sent first to the Mediterranean Sea, where it will be located not far from the Middle East region, and then relocated to the Pacific Ocean, in the area adjacent to the Chinese coast.

Queen Elizabeth is the new warship of the Royal Navy. The aircraft carrier was built in 2016 and will be fully operational in 2020. This ship is considered the largest ship and the flagship of the British Navy. It has great capabilities for conducting military operations. The crew of Queen Elizabeth has about 700 people, and on board he is able to take up to 70 aircraft. A ship can cover up to 10 thousand nautical miles.

    to deter China’s military power and showcase Britain’s military capabilities

    China was terribly scared. Rather, it is a demonstration of the military impotence of Great Britain.

      Given the range of the Chinese anti-ship missiles, the Queen is not closer than 1000 miles to shore. Plus the lack of an air group on the ship, plus the lack of air defense systems. It is necessary to send a connection - AUG. And with this, the proud Britons are very bad.
      It’s unlikely that it will be possible to call in a bulk carrier. Yet 70 gross displacement. But the idea is good.
