Mil-26Man, I've chucked my 50p's worth in here on this - Future Carrier (Including Costs)
From the above Link, re a total lifetime Programme past the current 48 delivered/ordered, not sure how sound the 138 figure ever has been. Paying Guest suggests one source for it......
Others may know more! One hopes!!!!!! Maybe the Defence Command Paper on 22/3 will tell us more.
Thanks, whatever the origins of the 138 figure (and I certainly remember it as far back as 2010), the UK government publicly reaffirmed it in SDSR 2015.
