SASLESS, Nimitz class great idea but, Portsmouth is not deep or wide enough, it will not fit under the Forth Bridge and will not fit up Plymouth Sound either. So manpower aside, there is no-where in the UK where it could get alongside without being shunted out of the way by the Queen Mary etc. and no dock large enough to repair/refit! So either it goes back to the US for maintainance (JCA all over again!) or let the French repair it at Lorient!
