I can't see a situation where the F35 number would get past 24. That's probably the maximum capacity where the junglies can remain on board. In most scenarios you are likely to want that RM capacity...

Hval, the point is it isn't going to just be the F35s. Lusty and Ocean are on their last legs (old age and cheap build). The QE class will be the home for the Commando helicopter force too. 90% of...

There was NEVER going to be more than a like for like replacement for the GR9s. So 3 x 9 + a small OCU / reserve. 50 should just about cover that. The UK can always return for further buys later.

CVF v CVN

We might be paying over odds but wee are still paying £4bn for two rather than £6bn for one. You could probably crew both CVFs with the CVNs compliment. So not such a bad deal after all.

Froggie carrier

One answer to that. If it is so good, why did the froggies pay money up front to look at and use the RNs CVF design?

Maybe it's what you don't see. Is it just a coincidence that 30 out of the 44 ASW Merlins are being updated - leaving a handy batch of 12 (i can't remember how many have been lost)? Could these cabs...

Costs

The RN already covers the cost of running 2 carriers within its budget - so its not extra money being spent. The type 45s have been found to run on half the fuel of the type 42s they replace, so...

I agree with all the above. The Harriers are needed now and are showing their worth day in and day out. It's doing what it was born for. The GR4 isn't the best fit for Stan.
