Radar Command,

Don't make the mistake of comparing the CVS platform with the people who operated in it or off it together with the aircraft. There is a big difference. If CVA01 had been around in 1982 and the Bosnia episode and GW1 and Telic and the current conflict. Things would have been very different.

In the same vein I would argue that the SeaKing Mk7 was crap but the kit that's it it and the people who operate it are not.

Widger,

I concede your point. The CVS platform has been asked to do far more than it was capable of ever since it came into service.

Maybe if they were 3 times the size, with 36 jets rather than 8.......
