UJ,
an excellent defence of your fine service, but it is not the issue. Whatever the RN's record in past humanitarian operations, the facts are:
The USS Carl Vinson is already there.
It is a carrier.
It is also very capable, some may say more so.
It is unable to help very much.
Therefore, the logic of us sending another carrier is fundamentally flawed. The pygmy carrier comment was in large part frustration at the other members of your service who chose not to read any post that doesn't support the 'we need to send a carrier, now whats the question' brigade.
If I am anti-navy, it's only because I have spent so much time working with them.
