I'm sure it wasnt you FOD, but one of your RN cohorts said on a similar thread that lily padding doesn't count(or some such words). 1 LPH and a legacy CVS. That is all you can embark on for a sustained period. LPD has no hangar, the rest are just the hangar-on vessels....
Fact, you have less ships you can embark on for a sustained period, but just as many sqns. Fact, the marinisation is not yet funded(and may not be). Fact, the Mk3 will rot if not put down below. Fact the mk3 isn't very suitable for the proposed role (at the moment).
