"Funding for the carriers is decimating all other programmes due to the poor defence settlement from the Comprehensive Spending Review."
The pro carrier lobby here should f***ing hang their heads in shame. In an ideal world, where we still spent 7% GDP on defence (as we did before CVA01 was quite rightly torpedoed) no-one would argue against the case for carriers, but with todays realities, we're going to lose far too many useful capabilities to pay for these Admiral's playthings.
