I didn't post a full list of deployments but you know we have at least one escort, a tanker and an RFA support vessel in the Gulf normally for example.......
I can't understand why you won't admit the point that a Carrier Group means we're doing less elsewhere. I agree that a CG is a strong force which we haven't had for a decade - but it comes at an operational cost.
The question is is it worth it - and on that we clearly differ - no doubt time will tell.
