Also, thank you for encouraging our antics. Now the thread is locked ????
It was entertaining to read- and quickly devolved into something that wasn’t about Israel at all.

For reference, the Queen Elizabeth and Prince of Wales are 932 ft long and displace 65,000 tons - slightly smaller than the Forrestal class of US carriers and roughly the size of the post WW2 Midway class carriers.
