I think both sides of this argument are pretty well aware of the directions we're both coming from - we both feel the other is wrong (and maybe deluded) - and neither side shows much sign of converting the other.
I would summarise as follows:-
Pro's - a real upgrade/restoration of a major force multiplier that will enable performance of tasks we can't do currently and will also enable us to do some current tasks better
Anti's - at best a nice-to-have but will have a really negative effect on the future overall force structure, operation and manning of the rest of the Navy
Both would probably be happy if there was proper funding that allowed a decent sized and resourced navy that could include carriers
You pays you money and take's your choice
We've managed to keep the argument (relatively civilised)- certainly compared to some others but rather than loop round again ad-infinitum I suggest we await events...............
