"delivery of the Navy's carriers, due in 2012 and 2015."
And they're coming to take me away, Ha Ha/Hee Hee Ha Ha to the funny farm...
What's going on here, I wonder? Is it that the Treasury and the PM-designate are demanding that the MoD seriously assess what looks (on the face of it) like a money-saving option before they sign a contract? If so, they are doing it regardless of the impact on schedule, which is already tenuous. Or is there time available, as it becomes superabundantly clear that Dave-B is not going to be meeting KURs with FOC software before 2015 anyway?
