I still struggle to comprehend how the government of an island nation thinks that, whilst it is essential to investigate air incursions in our AOR, there is no immediate requirement to investigate surface/subsurface incursions - other than by FRE or allies. At least Seedcorn pers are retaining the skills required to start over; as long as it's done soon. Of course, the RN could also support MPA ops, but I think that they are likely to find manning to aircraft carriers difficult.
