It is sad isn't it? I gave up believing in politicians commitment to the British Navy after the T45 "one for one replacement" saga...............

They kept saying it but then you could see the weasel words creeping in one at a time over the years - better for someone to 'fess up at the start IMHO

Thinking of which I took a look at Portsmouth on Google Earth yesterday - imagery dated 14th Sept 2016 - there are 4 T45's in (3 along side and 1 in dock) - but you get some idea of the SIZE of them .......... not much smaller than HMS Illustrious alongside
