Well, this snotty-nosed cabin boy certainly seems to have put the cat amongst the pigeons.
Force projection, expeditionary forces, rapid reaction? All recent buzz words which no-one seems to be thinking about here. How long does it take to get HMS Improbable, Indecipherable or Inexcusable to relocate from A to B? Or to break HMS Iron Duck off from its, sorry, 'her' cocktail party cruise to do something useful?
Can see some useful convergence at top level though - what's the current admiral:ship ratio? Any better than the Air Marshal:cockpit ratio?
