Don't disagree, but, in the future, those position don't have to be dark blue - any uniform colour could be trained.

Desired capability is not the issue - how to achieve it is.

I am not suggesting bin the RN here, I'm saying that we can't keep doing what we have done - we can't afford it. So how do we achieve the desired result with less money? There are many potential solutions - single coloured uniform for aviation (and I don't care what it is!) has got to be cheaper than 3 colours with the various chains of command and additional costs. I'd love to recommend maintaining the status quo, but I, for one, don't see that we have the funds to do it all. I am trying to be broad minded in what is clearly a single service minded environment.
