WEBF - the problem is that the new RN Carrier Group is IN ADDITION to what we already have and there is no sign that any politician intends to increase manning levels.
We seem to have decided to build and oeprate carriers because others have them - fair enough - but we have to put up the extra cash and there is no sign of that . As things stand now and for the foreseeable future the Carrier Group will drain men, ships and cash from other operations we are currently doing..................
