Thought provoking, yes, but capability lost?

Nope, we've got a lot of better kit these days:


Typhoon at MPA

A decent amphib warfare ship:


HMS Ocean

A small amount of Naval Air GR9s



A few Type 45s


HMS Daring

Sub launched TLAM - better than 21 dumb bombs from medium level and a gazillion tankers!



The Queen Elizabeth and load of other gin palaces (it's big business for Cunard et al at present!):



All right - you got me on the Hospitals!

Don't forget that the Argies have a lot less now than they had then.

Of course, there would need to be a pause in the sand-pit for a bit though!
