Thanks ORAC - as ever raises some interesting issues
1. Who is going to pay - if its RN which budget will be cut?
2. How will they man her? Another 150 crew to find
3. Should she be "for hire" or "above the commercial fray" (the latter seems to miss the point IMHO)?
4..Can UK shipyards build her at the same time as the SSBN, T26, T31e and Fleet Replenishment programme?
