Let’s get real here for a moment. These proposed carriers are going to cost an awful lot of money and for that reason they will be binned as soon as the idiots in Downing Street can find an excuse. Let’s face it; we are not a world power any more. The empire is gone and we are merely a subsidiary of USA global enterprises Inc. Any war we get dragged into by our cousins across the pond will not require British carriers as the Yanks have more than they know what to do with. Far better to spend the cash, as somebody has already mentioned, on kit we need. Boots, rifles that work and decent warm kit being just a few examples. Big shiny British carriers.........dream on
