If we accept we are getting at least one carrier then I am in the corner that would suggest the aircraft would be used mainly to project power, unless we take on an enemy capable of attacking the battle group that the carrier is a part of.

The T45 is an untested warship that at the moment certainly talks a good fight and if it performs as expected then it would be a force not to be taken lightly but until that day then a harrier in the air is better than an Apache on the Ocean

Okay, okay, I accept the harriers are gone but this thread is still alive and kicking
