WEBF,
Question for you, when was the last time the British Armed Forces took on a numerically and technically superior foe all by themselves?
There is always going to be a call for more spending on defence than whatever the current amount is.
Take a look around the world and conjure us up a threat to UK security so severe that it would require your dream fleet to defeat it yet so minor that it would not be threat to the US or anyone else.
The only one that can I can come up with is a 2nd Falklands War. I would say that with current tech available to the UK armed forces the plan to retake an occupied FIs would be strikingly different from that in 1982. That is even if you have access to your dream fleet.
It would not be a matter of steaming down there again in battleline and doing the same assault but with modern kit.
Cheers
BHR
