THAT is a classic British understatement ................... WEBF has carried on a one man or woman campaign for over 16 years on here - see "Future Carrier"
And amazingly has seen his/her dreams come to pass..............
Given that at times the politicians have had trouble listening to the First Sea Lord and various analysts, why would they listen to me? Thanks for the confidence in my influence though! We need carriers, NATO needs us to have carriers, I am just dark blue - to the core.

Good to hear - one might be forgiven for getting the feeling that the aviation and surface warfare experts were kept apart - not workable of course.
