Exactly why would we need a UK designed, built, and crewed Ship?

Who would maintain, service, and repair the ship?

Why would the RN accept being seconded to the US Navy?

I know the President is keen on good bargains in his business dealings.....but I think he will see this scheme to be just plain cockeyed crazy!

If he were to negotiate such a deal...you lot are going to hate the terms and conditions along with the compensation.....as he knows how badly you need the dosh.

One should always negotiate from a position of strength....and that would be your undoing.
