...what role(s)...does the Royal Navy have...
Wanab, you will need to learn the following:
'The Royal Navy goes to sea to defend itself. That's it.'
No doubt that is based on having a Carrier force that it can just about carry sufficient Jets to maintain a CAP over itself... whether the new Carriers ever see the light of day in the Political climes we have today is open to conjecture......... It will be a sad day if they never do however, also is the new F35 struggling to get round the circuit on an overshoot with it's fuel burn?
Actually I always thought a better Generalisation was
The Navy Officer goes to War with his men
The Army Officer sends his men to War
The RAF Officer is sent to War by his men......
Hence I did my time in the RAF
