Dave is right. Ocean has been a great ship and served the nation well, but her time has come. Selling her to Brazil was the right thing to do, they are still getting a sound asset, but the UK needs something more than what Ocean offers.
I looked up at Queen Elizabeth this week and liked what I saw. She's not the full deal yet, but she will be soon enough. There has been a lot of pain in getting there and probably a deal more to come yet, but building the QEC was the right thing to do, both of them!
