A subtle point that seems to be missed a lot is that whether it's 6 or 36 JCA onboard - it's (essentially, practically, potentially) 100% of the UK's (not fish head, not crab - the UK's) available FE@R.
So if it's 'paltry' then it isn't our MarStrike capability that's paltry -it's our strike capability in its entirety. (Unless FOAS, FCAC, DPOC is back...anyone?)
That's not the boat's fault.
