Don't know the contract penalty details, however my tuppenybit at just below turf level:
1. Cancel tranche 3 of Typ-hoon.
2. Build the carriers, get enough JSFs to put on them,
3. Cancel the Harrier FRS cancellation to keep something that works going until a replacement has matured.
4. Stop mucking about with the A400 concept and buy more large transport.
5. Stop bean counters removing the ability to produce bodies in the right colour uniforms to do all the jobs tasked, or stop tasking jobs above the level the Bean counters will pay for.
Marinate the Typ-hoon? how big a boat will it need to leap aloft from, given a meaningful deliverable on board.
