I despair - I'm not a carrier fan but if we're going to have them surely we can afford a few more CIWS? The carriers cost billions
Carry on despairing. At some point you'll realise your SA on anything to do with maritime is not what it should be.
The CIWS thing isn't great, but frankly fixable if there was less pressure on time
Don't forget, this is speculation. QNLZ was due to go to Rosyth for refit anyway. The issue with the shaft coupling is a question of risk appetite and might actually be sorted by a material / structural study. Still, frigates and destroyers eh?
