It is a very sad indication of the state of our armed forces in the UK. Some decades ago, not only would the RAF have been flying in but the RN would have been on scene within 48 hrs, having ships regularly stationed in the area.
Before Minigun and others slate the Carl Vinson, remember the fact that the ship not only has air assets but a hospital, food and can produce thousands of litres of drinking water every day.
It seems that a lot of international aid is on Hispaniola but is being either held up at the border with DR or cannot get through. Without a deep water harbour, some assault ships with LCVPs and LCUs could be useful but, the tinpot nation that we are these days could probably not afford the fuel to get there.
