Or the CoE who seem to have more and more Bishops as the number of worshippers plummets
Instead of doing what so many other civilians do through lack of awareness, trotting out this timeworn trope, perhaps Asturias could do himself a favour and some homework, and establish the very wide range of appointments these officers of flag rank actually hold, often in dual-hatted roles, not just in purely naval posts, but in tri-Service and multi-national posts. Once that's done, he can come back with a more realistic assessment of just how "bad" the figure he quotes actually is. Other Services are of course available....
Not being C of E, I'll leave the question of the bishops to someone else.
