HMS Ocean cost £139m in 1993... So let’s triple this for inflation and making the ship more modern about £400m today - we could afford 10 of these for the cost of 2 QE class ships...
I would go for 10 modernised ocean class ships any day!
In 120 launches (so 240 SRB's) there has never been a single failure of the SRB's that would cause a launch failure... Challenger failed due to a breach in the main tank, because of o-ring failure, not something that will be an issue for the new launch setup.

AMD name CPU's (have done for a while) after F1 locations, Mangy-Cours is in France I think, but it's genious naming for the 12 core product....
Overpriced

NT3.5 = 3.5
NT4 = 4.0
2000 = 5.0
XP 32bit = 5.1
XP 64bit = 5.2
2003 = 5.2
