Demonstrated repeatedly? Evidence please.
Chasing air power? Despite the pretensions of the 103 year experiment, the RN has always embraced airpower since inception, understands its value and wants to ensure that it is available when required.
Expense of surface and sub-surface fleets? A cursory examination of budgets shows you where the money actually goes....
