Rejected petition HMS Prince of Wales should be expected to carry Helicopters (like Apache, Chinooks and dromes), apart from acting as a second aircraft carrier

More details

The second QE class carrier, HMS Prince of Wales, need not be permanently mothballed but go into service as the need require for periods of time depending on circumstances. HMS Prince of Wales is bigger than our current Helicopter Carrier HMS Ocean and can be used in service to carry and service helicopters (like Apache, Chinooks and dromes), apart from acting as a second aircraft carrier as the need requires. The new QE class aircraft carrier which are capable of carrying over 50 aircrafts, should also be able to carrier launched specially adapted marine Typhoon Eurofighters, Apache helicopters, dromes, Chinooks, as well as JFA. The carrier launch system in QE class carriers should utilise the new electromagnetic catapult system.
