Seems a fair analysis of the hangar size, I agree a Merlin will probably only just squeeze in. |

I don't mean this as disparagement of any internet peanut-gallery analysis (lord knows I do it as much as anyone), but the RN has been operating the Merlin for a fair number of years and I'm sure they understand the practical clearance requirements for day-to-day operations better than I do. Honestly I'd love to pull some E-4 equivalent aside and ask him or her how much space they really think they need! |

I remember my stepfather said about the aft deck of a navy ship: "you don't want it to be to big, so people can't hide in a corner and have sexy time..." I except a service personal, want enough space for his workbench on wheels... around the helicopter |

It's the same for most jobs those actually doing them aren't consulted when their working enviroment is designed. But on the rare occasions it does happen they usually come up with a much better plan.

yes will be interesting to see what the other 7 names are. I hope each of the home countries is represented. There is petitions for Plymouth. But it's tricky Northern Ireland has only 5 Cities Armagh, Belfast, Lisburn, Newry and Londonderry personally would like the rules bent a bit and HMS Antrim reappear its a town and a county |

Derry is well out for obvious reasons, though I wonder will they go for a NI name at all?
