The R.A.N. would be unlikely to purchase a CV for a couple of reasons.1,The cost of both the vessel and a new fleet air-arm (both fixed and rotary wing) would be hard to justify. 2,Politically (regional/domestic) it would be a sensitive issue. 3, the JINDALEE over the horizon radar coupled with the AEGIS destroyers fulfill the need for early warning.
