So, to summarise the last page or so:
The RAF can conduct Maritime Strike (if it is their list of priorities, which it isn't) from land bases so long as any conflict is within range. If not, they'll pop along after it's over and give the defeated enemy a stern demonstration of what they could have done (if they'd had a carrier).
Typhoon is truly a multi role aircraft as its dropped a few EPW2 and PW2.
Tornado/Buccaneer are/were multi role aircraft because they carry sidewinder.
Tornado and Typhoon are "not much different" to the Super Hornet.
Thank goodness we are lucky enough to have the air power experts on our side......
