Royal Navy carrier strike development – the next 18 months
:
"... the Commander UK Carrier Strike Group ... stated that ultimately the intention is to have “24 in 24”, ie. 24 jets will routinely embark on the deployed carrier from 2024."
one thing is "intention", another thing is money, so let's wait and see in 2024 (and for now I set aside quote/unquote value of a carrier force comprising two dozen fixed-wing aircraft, because I don't know if the RN will have a carrier force comprising two dozen fixed-wing aircraft)

Today it was ready to return to RAF Marham and launched from the carrier tied up at the PRJ:

Two days ago my grandson, Poopeye, was promoted to Operations Specialist 3rd class(E-4) aboard USS Nimitz (CVN 68). I served aboard Nimitz in 1991.
