I said early on in the thread that it was stupid to build the carriers to be dependant on one type of aircraft and that it needed the flexibility of a cat and trap…
Typical government and MOD penny pinching, spend billions on Carriers but fail at the last hurdle in giving the ships the capability to cross deck with other types or future developments.
Well no doubt now they will only decide to go ahaed after the POW is repaired meaning more time out of service instead of running the projects in parallel.
