Carrier Carried Back

Owing to inevitable defence cuts, the arrival of the Royal Navy's two new carriers has been set back by about two years.

In order to fill the vulnerable gap in Britain's defences, the Foreign Office is sending a polite note to all our enemies to be good sports and hold off attacking until we're ready for them.

  1. Imagine landing a Piper Cub on one of those! The looks on the crew member's faces! Then you start taking pictures of the planes and the command tower, and when they kick the camera out of your hand, you say something like "I will consider negotiating a peaceful surrender of this carrier if you give me the captain's entire harem."

  2. Enh. Doesn't look so impressive. Judging by the art, the carrier's only a little bigger than a single plane.
