My understanding is we have two carriers which are broke, understaffed and underplaned with little to no support ships.
Probably cobble something together, just like the Argies would, only this time we would see the build up and be able to base a couple of subs inside another exclusion zone and that would effectively stop anything serious but airborne forces getting in.
They have about 6 C130s a couple of Fokker 28s and less than a dozen Skyhawk variants.
Can't see that being much of a problem.
