This is one of things that those who aren't carrier fans predicted - we don't have enough assets (T45's SSn', frigates) to do both properly. The carriers are a distraction in a small navy.
How many times and / or how simple do I have to make the question?
What (I assume you understand that word)
Mission(s) - military tasks, (that's things that the ships do)
Do you think (hmmmm)
Are not being undertaken by the T45 because we have carriers?
You've tried posting dated stuff from the RN website, only to discover that T45s on deployment with CSG have done pretty much all of them. You've waffled vaguely about "coverage" as if that was actually a mission. Try answering the question.
If you manage that, you can then try and find out which HVU are currently in the Med with a T45.
