UN assesses strike carrier sortie generation
Article Abstract:
The UK Royal Navy (RN) is to validate the results of the sortie generation performance that can be achieved by carrier GR7/GR9 short take-off vertical landing (STOVL) attack aircraft operating from invincible-class carriers. A CVS carrier would be capable of generating 50 to 60 sorties a day over a five-day period and whether this can indeed be achieved in practice will be tested in early 2005 during the operational trials of HMS 'Illustrious'.
