I doubt we need to actually 'improve' it but it's highly topical at the moment since a decision needs to be taken sometime over the next few years about replacing our trident subs.
Chancellor Gordon Brown attracted attention recently for making a speech in which he defended the replacement option.
We've a couple of 'Nimitz' size aircraft carriers being built shortly too !

Nah, all we'd have to do is convince France we were launching. They'd launch and shoot themselves, again.

Ah, yes - The way of the New National Socialist: If you can't make someone submit to your will, then murder them, their family, and everyone who lives within five miles of them, horribly.
It's no wonder everyone in the World hates Americans, if Terrell is an example.
Thanks, Rich
The only reason North Korea, Iran, and everyone else want nukes is so they have some deterrent to protect themselves from being invaded by America's insane crusaders.
I want to see an accounting of the United State's stockpiles of weapons of mass destruction.
Thanks, Rich
Better still - genetically engineer a lethal virus that only Floridans have receptors for..............
That would be people from anywhere in the world, dumbfuck.

Boy, you _really_ don't grasp the concept of "free speech", do you? Yes, it's OK for some asshole in Europe to CFTDOEITU, just as it's OK for you to call them an asshole, and it's OK to announce to the world what an incredible asshole's asshole you are by calling for the mass destruction of that person plus millions that you've never even heard of.
I may not agree with what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to be an abysmally stupid, murderous, evil, vicious dupe of the neocon regime.
But remember, I reserve the right to defend my Life, Liberty, and Property from the machinations of the likes of you and your ilk.
Cheers! Rich
It's the New American Way !!!
If you can't make friends of ppl, blow them up instead.

Not true - Iran wants to vaporise Israel any chance it gets!
OK - do like you said and plant a nuke instead!
Sure. Israel has had forty years to do the same and has withheld the urge through many wars where it had every right to do so.

*THOSE* do not count!
I would hardly call taiwan '3rd world' these days.
I see... the US can't defeat its enemies, so let's try to defeat our allies instead.

'Nimitz' size? You wish - they were originally supposed to be roughly half that size, then got cut down some more for budgetary reasons. That means the JSF is too big and heavy to be carried on them, so with the demise of the Harrier we finish up with a 'bomb magnet' that can't even deploy the aircraft it was designed for.

Have you tried to buy any memory chips or modules that are NOT lead-free recently?

In Michael's universe, anyone who's not a rabid Dubya loyalist is an enemy of the state.
Thanks, Rich
They never had a Nimitz style gross tonnage but the overall dimensions were pretty similar.
Where did you hear the JSF won't fit on them ? No point in even having carriers otherwise !
Graham
OK, for us peaceniks, WTF 'JSF'?
