WC,
The Sea Harriers are now all retired and Royal Navy fixed wing capability now consists of Harrier GR7/9 aircraft shared with the RAF. The Harriers are heavily commited to Afghanistan right now and so rarely go to sea for any lengthy period.
Incidentally, our CVS are somewhat smaller than your LHDs.
Regards,
MM
