I love to see more and more of those aircraft.
I have a good friend who worked for and retired from Boieng whose last big project was with the P-8.
We have some GREAT talks about that bird.
Love to see the US Navy getting theirs...and the Indians, the Aussies, the UK...looks like Norway will get them too.
I expect several other nations to take a hard look at them as their P-3Cs or other MPAs get long in the tooth. Look for Italy, Canada, Turkey, New Zealnd, and even Saudi Arabioa to take a hard look at thm. I expect some of them will choose the P-8, along with others.
I well timed, and capable future path for all of those P-3 Orion users out there.
Anyhow, the US Navy is getting their Squadrons decked out and they are using them around the globe now.

I read in Twitter it's a new chart;
I assume it shows the standard displacement figure
I mean with 8k full displacement and 48+24=72 tubes (if ever fitted), they would get at 72/8 which is nine; context: Jul 5, 2017

Clown journalist talking Nelson again, but I got by this, quit reading later, at this moment:
"It takes sheer size to provide enough protection against all the weapons likely to be used against a carrier, from bombs to cruise missiles to torpedoes. This lesson comes from the second world war, where lessons learned from operations with the large converted battlecruisers in comparison with the smaller purpose-built aircraft carriers had taught both the Royal and US Navies that large carriers were more survivable than smaller ones due primarily to the large number of watertight compartments."
I would've thought somebody writing about naval matters might know
Why are the Queen Elizabeth class carriers so big?

- the RN didn't have any "large converted battlecruisers";
- the large converted battlecruiser USS Lexington went to the bottom of the Coral Sea
