German 21st Panzer Division Created as 5th Light Division or 5th Light Afrika Division in Africa in early 1941, from an ad hoc collection of smaller units rushed to support the collapsing Italian army. Reorganized as 21st Panzer Division later the same year. Fought throughout the African campaign, participating in all the major battles, and was greatly worn down by the Battle of El Alamein and the long retreat to Tunisia (1942). It lead the assault at the Battle of Kasserine Pass, but was lost in the general Axis collapse in Africa (1943). Reconstituted in France (1943) and remained there for rehabilitation and garrison duty until the Allied landings at Battle of Normandy (1944), whereupon it was heavily engaged in the fighting at the Normandy beachheads, being the only Panzer division to engage the Allies on the first day. It was greatly weakened in the ensuing battles around Caen, fighting as infantry after the loss of virtually all its tanks. It was relieved for rehabilitation but rushed back to the front after the Allied breakout, fighting to keep a toe-hold in Alsace and the Saar. It was transferred to the Eastern Front in early 1945, and was captured by the Soviets there shortly before the end of the war. (references)

Royal Navy in the 21st Century The most significant source of power projection available to a navy is the aircraft carrier, and in the Royal Navy this is no exception. However, the three ships of the Invincible class are limited in what they can actually do, due not only to their small size, but also to the capabilities of the Sea Harrier. As a consequence, in the Strategic Defence Review of 1998, the British Government announced it would replace the Invincible class with a pair of much larger vessels, in a project that has been designated as 'CVF'. These two ships will displace over 60,000 tonnes and will be some 280m long, making them the largest ever operated by the Royal Navy. They will be STOVL carriers, operating the STOVL variant of the Joint Strike Fighter, which has been ordered by both the Fleet Air Arm and the Royal Air Force to replace the Harrier. It will also operate the Merlin ASW helicopter, and a platform for Maritime Airborne Surveillance and Control (MASC), among the contenders for which are a modified version of the Merlin, the E-2 Hawkeye or a modified version of the V-22 Osprey.
