I've no doubt it is a freebie, but we shouldn't use LRSAR as the justification for the UK's ASW/ASuW capability gap. It would seem to be a bit of an 'also ran' in the justification process.

...we just did!
We only have requirements and plans for swing-role FJs these days (Typhoon II and Lightning II).
