Or alternativetely a re-run of the numbers may lead to the whole damn party, carriers and all, being canned. That would get the vote of 2 out of 3 services and the treasury.
Fortunately, "cancelling the carriers" would by now save pretty much zero money. Cancelling the aircraft, which is the only thing to save the Treasury any money, would hurt both FAA and RAF, so unlikely to get light-blue buy-in.
