It's not the Typhoons or AT. It's the disservice to the Navy with the binning of Nimrod and Harrier.

Not that the Navy helped their own case with slashing their fleet to get the two carriers, but even so, they've been shafted.

I say this as a retired soldier. I have no axe to grind on behalf of the Navy, just an onlooker distressed by the whole thing. SDSR was just a disgrace, brought on by years of Labour mis"management".

I do think the visit by CDS was nothing more than what it says on the tin though.
