Oh, and had the MRA4, made it into service, it had the ability to carry 6 Storm Shadow with a 14 hour loiter abilty
Yeah, dream on matey. Even if waste o'space could have made it work, then the Libyan Mig 23s and Mig 25s would have made mincemeat of it - from the squandering of £4Bn on MRA4 we were unable to afford anything to protect it! Sounds rather like the carriers we're buying!
Nice mock up photo from the company, though. It certainly hooked a few into thinking it might happen!

PS. Why would we bother when the RN could deliver TLAM from a boat instead?
