So....when this miracle of jointness goes to sea....and we have to stock a completely unique set of spares for it....thus taking up storage capacity we need for our own needs (based upon common kit in our ships)....that would input a burden on us rather than a benefit.
I would love to see either or both of these RN Aircraft Carriers do a long at Sea deployment as some of our Carriers have done.
The Nimitz did a 270 day deployment with 144 continuous days at sea during one stretch of operations.
Are you guys ready for that contingency?
