perhaps a fair share of the blame should go to the Navy, 17 years after the threat of massive air attacks on CVS groups disappears and the RN are still hammering on about the need for Type 45 Air Warfare Destroyers
at £1billion a pop while binning Sea Harrier.

HMS Ocean, a cheap and chearful LHD cost £200million and is being used here there and everywhere and is bloody useful in the kind of litoral ops we find ourselves in, HMS Daring at £1billion is fit for very little more than the West Indies Guard Ship.
