Perhaps someone in dark blue may be able to answer, but I am under the impression that although we still have two CV in the RN, we now have only one crew, and they will transfer from one ship to the other as required.
If this is indeed the case, then I too also feel that it is very unlikely that we will end up with two shiny new CV, and the two crews required to man them.
It is also a very sad state of affairs that the RN can sign up to buy two carriers without knowing what top they want on them, or what aircraft they are going to operate from them.
While all the navies of western Europe are bringing new ships into service, the RN seem to be struggling on with ageing T42's, and slowly but surely the government are doing their best to reduce numbers all the time.
And finally, can someone please explain to me why one of the T45's will be called Duncan??
