Re: Carriers??
"Whilst complex, the F22 is simpler than F35, but even after an "improvement programme" only achieved 70% mission availability"
Mission availability ratings are generally regarded as a bullshit easily manipulated measurement. A squadron that does no flying can have a 100% availability - yet would be of no use at all.
I'd no more regard such a rating as an accurate assessment than I would a "glorious peoples five year tractor factory plan" production report.
