Face it....these two ships cannot survive in a real full on engagement with a top tier opponent. They are not equipped themselves to go it alone and must rely upon the escorts to include attack Subs
What happens when there is a short fall in numbers and capabilities of escorts?
Sortie and go down in a grand and glorious fashion or hide out at Scapa?
When, in the history of naval warfare, was an aircraft carrier designed, built or deployed to "go it alone?"
