Junglylynx it was interesting that you mention the lack of Sea Harrier (discussed here) as being a showstopper with respect to North Korea. Surely the arguments for retaining air defence capabilities is the same as that for ASW capabilities - that is that the future is unknown, and potential threats exist.

The RN splits it such, unlike the USN which combines the ASW and ASuW disciplines into Sea Warfare and treats the Air Warfare discipline separately.
