Amalgamate the forces- Oh no not that again !
Well we know that it will never happen as there are far too many comfortable jobs up top! (more Admirals than ships ). The new CAS will never vote himself out of a job.
BUT with only 158,000 men in uniform do we need such a top heavy 3 pronged system - With the 3 arms fighting over a very small pie.
Inter service squabbles contributed to binning the Harrier early and buying 2 carriers which some think are very expensive luxuries!
