So many questions!!!!!!

So few answers.

LOL

Yes only RAF aircraft soon.

No they havent been laid down yet.

As for SSN's . They are very expensive. They may get 8 but IMHO only 6.

The USN is the same maybe even moreso.

But then what do you want to do?

Send the boys out with the best or something less??????????

The paradigm has changed.

If a "real" war erupts it will be quick and brutal. It will be won or lost in a matter of hours.

Not even days,weeks or months. Much less years.

And yet you have to balance that with forces to operate in times of less urgency.

Its tough. Im glad I dont have to make these types of decisions. Are not you ?
