I found it unbelievable that the carriers are only safe because of the location of where they will be built, it seems the done thing now to accept such things,
the ships have a valid reason to be built thu 2 seems to be strange as i always was lead to believe that 3 ships to keep one on station, why have we gone to
pairs now 8 type45 8 astute ssn, not wanting to dream fleet here but what about have what the 98SDR called for
12 type 45
18 various frigates
12 ssn
and what about 3 oceans types of about 18-20000 tons with 12-16 helicoptersThe funny thing is that had a decent budget been maintained in the last 10-15 years the above would not seem so far fetched
Might have had a army of 130-140000 men and had a decent RAF strength 9 fighter squadrons now down to 3
11 bombers squadrons down to 5.
Ok i have finished lock me up and throw away the key
