etter in today's Times suggesting we could have a cats & traps Carrier force with a fast jet force of 30 F-35A's & 33 F-18 E/F operated by the RAF/RN for the same price as a big buy of the STOVL version
How would that work? If the RAF got F35A then what would the necessity be for them to go to sea? seems like a lot of grief to me

How many carriers cwould be converted for the money - assuming it is budget neutral?

Would it not be better just to have an F35a/b mix?
