Dont think so. There's not much else to say though until it has. The Navy think they should have it so they can save CHF, the RAF think they should keep it because it's a ridiculously expensive option to marinise the airframes, relocate and retrain all the aircrew and that's just the financial aspect, before you even begin to mention the years of Merlin corporate operating experience that is going to be pissed away in a few years time, just to keep the navy happy.

I think that just about covers the story so far !
