That's because Charles knows there's cock-all chance of the RN ever having the resources to complete the ships, let alone fly aircraft off them.

I think carriers are great but not at any cost. The admirals don't seem to give a stuff about a balanced joint force just so long as they have a carrier.

Giving this a bit more thought, there's little point in just enforcing a NFZ, it would need to be in order to achieve something. Stopping the Libyan's bombing and strafing themselves would be a good...

Local air superiority might need more than a few fighters and, presumably, some assured sea control would be required for carrier ops. Wiki mentions that Libya has SA2, 3 and 6 so some good ISTAR...

Not a Nuclear Incident

The Astute SSN aground in silt has been described on the BBC web site by 'a spokeswoman' as 'not a nuclear incident'. Seems stunningly complacent to me, let's hope they can keep things cool.
