RN, we want it all, we want it now, otherwise we'll scream and scream and scream
It seems the RN want Harriers, shiny new CVs, JSF, T45, SSN, SSBN, Nimrod, new helicopters etc etc. Does the RN propose to give up anything it actually owns/funds? mmmmm no seems to be the answer. As for regenerating the capability to mount carrier operations, we the Americans, Japanese, Spanish, Russians, Indians etc all managed to build a carrier capability from nothing the first time around, I don't see why we can't do it again. I'm sure our allies/friends operating carriers will lend us a hand when the time comes.
