Heaven forfend that we should do something as sensible as make our capital ships interoperable with our principal ally (not to mention our occasional ally across the Channel). We might even find that economies in the logistics set-up might accrue such as a common US/UK/FR MASC basic training pipeline (using a sensible airframe).......Ooops, forgot Pierre already does that!
If only we could put another 3-4 knots of speed on the ship we'd be laughing........
