Interesting stuff - how does it fit in with the RN Strategic Plan?

Today is the anniversary of HMS Coventry being sunk and bombed in 1982, and MV Atlantic Conveyor being hit by an air launched Exocet, her loss causing the loss of many helicopters and much else. AEW and more CAPs (and a better understanding of how to use fighter aircraft as part of a task force) would have prevented both losses.
