In April 1995, the Director Future Projects (Naval) released the CV(R) Concept Exploration Summary Report into the concept studies for CV(R) - previously CVSG(R) and soon to become CV(F).

These studies pre-date the circa 1997 studies I posted earlier in this thread. These all feature the Lockheed STOVL JAST proposal (part of the MoD's STOVL Strike Fighter -SSF - programme) and Merlin. A couple of these designs (26f00000 and 26f010000) also featured the F/A-18 C/D and E/F respectively with C13 catapults and US Mk.7 arrester gear.

In October 1995, further studies included a navalised EF2000(N), but without folding wings.

There were also STUFT studies undertaken by BAeSEMA, which quite rightly ruled out this option as being feasible.
It also looks like a LPH-hull variant was also looked at around this time.

For the first time in 15 years a Royal Navy fast jet squadron has been deployed at sea with 809 Naval Air Squadron joining 617 The Dambusters on Prince of Wales for a month long training deployment. There will be a two week carrier accreditation followed by a fortnight long fleet training exercise in the North Sea titled Strike Warrior.
 
Excellent news for the Royal Navy aircraft carrier in deploying both 809 Naval Air Squadron and 617 Dambusters on the Prince of Wales, I would not be surprised that if the RN would deploy both squadrons on an active cruise at some point in the future.
 
Interesting news.



We heard these claims back then but it wasn't confirmed by a PM yet. But it makes sense that it didn't happen.
Things coming from his mouth isn't a particular proof, just like his claim of planning to invade the Netherlands :cool:
