From the MoD:
"The MOD has appointed Kellogg Brown & Root (UK) Ltd (KBR) to act as the preferred 'Physical Integrator' on the future aircraft carrier (CVF) project. After a competition KBR were selected in recognition of their track record of both operating in alliances and delivery of complex, bespoke projects in the off-shore industry and other sectors...............
........KBR has a proven track record of delivering bespoke, geographically spread and logistically complex construction projects. Previous contracts KBR have successfully delivered for the MOD include CONLOG, the Heavy Equipment Transporters and Temporarily Deployable Accommodation that were successfully used during OPERATION TELIC. KBR will also bring extensive experience of alliances from other sectors including oil and gas and infrastructure."
For sake of easier reading, I only put a few parts in. The whole thing can be read here:

Do you think this shows the CVF Project will be finalized soon, or will (HM) Treasury still demand the tonnage be dropped? There's no new news about their planned size.
Personally I think the Queen Elizabeth class will be large enough to support the JSF and fulfill the Royal Navy's requirements, but I have no idea how long the Treasury will slow the advancement of the project down.
Any thoughts?
