"That is why the UK Armed forces must be equipped to meet ALL Scenario's not just the one's we THINK are going to happen."

That would be nice, but it's already clear that we can't afford every capability, and so we must concentrate on those that are most useful, most often, and carriers don't tick that box.

And it's no use at all buying a gold plated contents insurance policy if stretching to afford it means that you can only afford to live in a f*cking tent.

These carriers are unaffordable, and paying for them will distort force structure for decades to come.
