So we crack on with the US certification, and there is either an accident, or the mission system makes an error resulting in collateral damage or a blue on blue? The chap(s) who signed off the system is then hounded by ambulance chasing lawyers on behalf of the families and people on this forum write how we should have done things properly. YOU CANNOT HAVE BOTH RISK AND SPEEDY INTO SERVICE NOW THAT CROWN IMMUNITY IS NO LONGER WITH US! That is why we have lost maritime capability and probably why we will lose other capability in the future - especially with the reduction in manpower in the support organisations.
