But JSF will be able to function as an F/A18 or AV8B as needed and I wasn't suggesting doing away with the RN's destroyers and frigates . . .
As for the Eurofighters . . . I really don't know - that's the beauty of being an arm-chair commentator with no power, no experience and a lack of anything that qualifies me for making any of my comments about military matters besides a keen interest in military history, a JANES subscription and an inquiring mind . . .
