Yes, it is damning if you’re a DT reader who just likes to get angry on the barest of facts but anyone on the website could counter a lot of what he says. There’s clearly an agenda that glosses over some of the wider strategic considerations and the fact that fitting catapults is far, far easier said than done on QEC. In 2012, EMALS was a real risk that the UK chose not to take.
Lewis Page is almost the journo equivalent of Sharkey Ward.
