"1. So what?
2. Illogical argument, there would be more oil for the carrier's 'entourage' if the carrier doesn't need it.

1. you don't NEED N-powered carriers to fight a war
2. If any of the ships in the Group need fuel then the supply chain has to be protected -
3. You can't be serious - given the cost overruns already on the conventional boats you want to add a complete design, development and
installation of a new nuclear plant - warships + npower = VAST cost overruns and delays
