I'll bite then.

It does see the need for an airforce, preferably one that is available to a maritime force when required - ie organic. The fact that some in capability world are unable to recognise both the validity of and requirement for complementary capabilities is a source of constant frustration, frequent mistakes and the laughable "capability holidays" (aka "capability exiles").

It's a bit like saying because the Pongos have trucks they don't need helicopters or APCs, or that the RAF doesn't need E3 because it has a fixed radar chain.
