Érase una vez sólo dos bandos (y sabías qué esperar) y había un país llamado Unión Soviética. Y el portaaviones era la especie dominante en los mares (Cuanto más grande era el portaaviones, más felices eran los almirantes), pero este tipo de barcos son muy caros, tan caros que parecía que iban a ser reemplazados por los (pequeño) portaaviones VSTOL ("Portaaeronaves" se llamaba, pero no encontró una palabra equivalente en inglés) y así fue como algunos sabios escribieron algunos sabios ensayos sobre el futuro de estos barcos. Y aquí están estos cuentos del pasado futuro. Esta línea temporal finaliza en abril de 1982 con la guerra de Malvinas (la guerra de las Malvinas para los lectores de lengua inglesa). Sobre los ensayos, las primeras cinco páginas son de la revista en italiano Aviazione e Marine, n° 171 de febrero de 1980. Las siguientes una vez páginas son de la revista en español Defensa n° 7 de noviembre de 1978. Las siguientes nueve páginas son de Proceedings (todo el mundo sabe lo que son las Actas) de diciembre de 1978, y las dos últimas páginas son de la edición de julio de 1978.
Once upon a time, there were only two sides (and you knew what to expect), and there was a country called the Soviet Union. The aircraft carrier was the dominant species on the high seas (the bigger the carrier, the happier the admirals), yet these vessels were incredibly expensive—so costly, in fact, that it seemed they would be replaced by small VSTOL carriers (often termed "aircraft-carrying ships," though there is no direct English equivalent for the specific term used). Consequently, various experts penned insightful essays regarding the future of these ships. Here, then, are those tales of a future past. This timeline concludes in April 1982 with the Falklands War. As for the essays themselves: the first five pages come from the Italian magazine *Aviazione e Marine* (Issue No. 171, February 1980); the next eleven pages are from the Spanish magazine *Defensa* (Issue No. 7, November 1978); the following nine pages are from *Proceedings* (December 1978); and the final two pages are from the July 1978 issue.
