Oh ok, I'll tell you what the RN believe.
The RN believes that the Carriers are for projecting force in its various forms around the world.
We believe that the aircraft on them are for strike and for shooting down/sinking baddies.
Now I understand that the RAF has not been a supporter of shooting down baddies since WW2, but we in the RN still believe it is important to shoot someone naughty down every decade or so to justify all the cocktail parties and very expensive embarked aircraft.
