Well the second carrier was always supposed to be "at readiness" i.e parked in Portsmouth but able to go into action relatively (= an undetermined period) quickly.
The one thing going for the RAF is that the Typhoon production line could do with a boost if only to retain the skill sets plus they get the P-8's and most of the drones
The Navy are getting their new frigates and patrol boats (and Succesor and the last "Astute")
The Army looked stuffed at the moment.
