The UK is concerned about the future of the F-35. Originally plans were for the UK to purchase the F-35B, however, with the longer delays in that part of the program to include a 2yr probation on the project imposed by the Pentagon last summer, the UK has now opted for the F-35C version for the new Queen Elisabeth Class carriers now under construction. And to an earlier question asked the current per unit cost stands at ~113 million dollars. Article is taken from the "DID" site.

I don't think it unreasonable for background to post this companion article on the carriers.

A change of pace or distraction seems to be in order about now!?!
