Not quite so fortunate - Ocean needs refit after SS2 so they're talking about using Illustrious, Fearless and 2 RFAs together to do what Ocean was designed for - HQ for 3 Commando Bde and rotary transport of same.
Plus Buff is doing backflips to make it not look like the ground force are being deployed from Oman - no-ones going to believe otherwise lads so why not drop the pretence and give them a visit by the Queen in a few years to make up for it or something?
[Edited to add the two RFAs - forgot about them]
