For many varied/subtle/not so subtle reasons - the UK carrier has ended up painted into the corner of stovl only - which really is a wastful misuse of a carrier that size.
The F35b is going to be a bitch to maintain so sortie generation rates should be 'interesting' unless we buy lots of the things LOL.
We quite often end up paying Rolls Royce prices for fairly useless equipment - but it is fairly traditional I suppose ; )
