Answer the question, WEBF. You continually espouse the virtues of the SHAR and the Carriers but seem happy to ignore the shortcomings of either. Maybe I should turn the question around then - what is that embarked aviation can do (other than turn up 12 miles offshore in a few days/weeks) that land-based aviation cannot? And more importantly, how many roles are there that are
not carried out by said embarked assets that are performed by the likes of Nimrod and many other types?
No disrespect to our dark blue brethren - you do a fantastic job and we will be the worse for the loss of the SHAR. Just a little tired of the continual SHAR/CVS
PR spouted above.

Anyway - back to the point...strap a few Storm Shadows to the 'mighty hunter' and see what effect we can achieve...after all, we
are in the business of effects-based operations!
