Oops, got a bit carried away from my track. Must have been the red wine drift. I was going to go on and say that if she who must be obeyed had a strategic goal of saving money from air and maritime power to develop a credible land force then that would be understandable. Allowing for the availability of suitable aircraft from the civil register then the navy have a term STUFT, no not stuffed, but ships taken up from trade. Can anyone help me - is that where the ship heads - or is it just another political vote buying exercise where we give the money saved to left handed lesbian surfers and other worthy recipients.
