UJ.....when one compares a USN Carrier Task Group and its associated Amphib Group....the RN begins to pale in size and capacity. No fault of the members of the RN but simply due to numbers of ships and aircraft deployed with them.
When one considers the USMC deployed over 2,000 Marines and the 82nd Airborne another 3500 Para's.....that alone should give an idea of the amount of help we can provide on very short notice.
As good as the RN is.....it just doesn't have the ships or aircraft to compare with the USN/USMC....and USCG combined.
How many ships from the RN are on the way to Haiti as we speak?
