This is one of the greatest carriers I've seen!

have not built up in that area yet. But when I call my AU for the Northern kingdom. there will probably be fighters that we use today and will have in the future.

Thx Alvama, I'm starting to get pretty good at this now.

some of the time she was built (80's-90's). And what kind of plane she will have today (2011-2020). I have thought that after approx. 35 years service, one should probably get a new aircraft carrier.

hmm.... possibilities for now:
-super hornet
-navalised gripen
-rafale m
-typhoon naval
-jsf
-mig 29 m
-su 33

maybe also UCAV's....

for 80's/90's
f-14 tomcat
su-33
f-18
super etendart
buccaneer?

* A-7, F-4s, A-4s, Buccaneers
* Sea Kings, Lynxes, Wessexs

2011 -
* Sea Gripen, Rafale M F/A-18 E/F
* AW159, AW101, Sea King, MH-60?
* Not sure about naval UAVs

Futureish
* Sea Gripen, F-35C
* AW159, AW101, MH-60?
* Not sure about naval UAVs

Thx! to Blackbuck and acelanceloet

How about a navalized Viggen? Low-speed and landing performance is roughly equivalent to the Grippen.

not so many types!! we gave options, not that you should put them all on it!
it is possible, but logistics are going hell!
the russians have only 3 types at the same time, the US 5 or 6.... that's including transport, helicopters etc....
also, many of your aircraft have overlapping missions.

I would suggest:
one light helicopter (for example lynx)
one heavy helicopter (for example merlin)
one multirole aircraft (or, if you really want, an fighter type + an bomber type or an fighter type + an multirole type)
one transport aircraft (of which versions can do the AWACS role)

that's it!
