If we have been a net importer (on a small scale) of oil for the past couple of years and will inevitably increase the amount of oil imports as the years go on, Why are we building two oil burning carriers?

It also has political ramifications, as many countries will not allow nuclear vessels into their ports


Thought that was the point, stand off the coast and terrorise them into submission?
