Cool

'for the same amount of money we can make more of a contribution to multinational operations NOT by contributing naval forces than we could by adding more aircraft (compared to x hundred from the USAF/USN/SSMC).'

But by contributing what is needed in that particular case its not a contest, its supposed to be about ensuring the rights of all mankind.

I really didn't want to get to this but,

Eastern Atlantic, cold war, primary responsibilty of RN (plus USN obvs) hence proportionately high contribution of forces.

Plains of West Germany, cold war, primary responsibility of the whole friggin free world hence proportionately lower contribution of forces.

See?

Remember 99% of stats are complete BS made up by lying two faced politicians, or something like that...
