Pr00ne, dear fellow. Only a Wikiwotsit but if you read about the good Denis you can see I was not getting my decades mixed up, as I lived through them.

When Labour won the 1964 election Healey served throughout the government as Secretary of State for Defence. He cut defence expenditure, scrapping Aircraft carriers, the proposed CVA01 and the reconstructed HMS Victorious, effectively a new ship in 1958 and cancelled his proposed carrier replacements 150 TSR-2 aircraft and then the F-111. Of the scrapped RN carriers, Healey commented that to most ordinary seamen they were just floating slums [6] and too vulnerable.

Perhaps I should cut you some slack as your losing the Falklands, and my definition were perhaps at cross purposes.
