I think we will be behind the $ and manpower drag curve for the foreseeable.

Two carriers, F-35s in sufficient numbers and escorts seems a million miles away from being achievable.

Trident replacement will be a big slice of a small pie - necessary or not!

The two extra squadrons of Typhoons are a minor miracle and we also have a fair few more Chinooks than we might need!
