David Cameron will rubber stamp an embarrassing U-turn over the Government's £5.2bn super aircraft carrier programme this week to avoid "a floating white elephant"...
... or maybe he'll cancel the whole thing.
Was David Cameron Wrong on Carrier Cancellation Costs?
So taking into account BAE's estimates, the overall costs of cancellation seem to indicate net savings may only exist only in the case of cancelling both carriers. Meanwhile only cancelling the second, HMS Prince of Wales, seems likely to produce savings, even if it is hard to estimate by exactly how much.
