I dont think this is bad news it is actually good news for the people that are going to be working on th eproject, the shields gazette had printed a front page story on this before the announcement was even made, as we on the Tyne are going to be building the 2 centre sections for the carriers , each section weighing 10 000 tons each. I will find the link from the gazette:-
