and an extremely slow, vulnerable, inflexible, expensive and inefficient way of delivering air power.
Jacko, please name me one land facility that can move 500 miles in a day and can approach its target from virtually any direction.
Could the following have happened without carriers?
1917: Cuxhaven airship raids
1940: Taranto
1941: Pearl Harbour
add: Korea, Suez, Vietnam, Libya
1982: Falklands
Do you see a pattern building here? Flexibility is the key and carrier air strike offers it at the best available price which is why HMG have gone for it it. Face facts.
I know many of us see your position this way
