All depends on the force projection question and the amount of funding available.

Something along those lines was discussed back on another carrier thread and some people thought that a joint effort by the Brits and the French was unthinkable and yet here we have it. The carriers didnt have to be specificly the same but afford basic structure,powerplant etc. characteristics to afford the higher build number ship wise which gave raise to a significant reduction in cost. However they will both foot the cost for their individual operation capabilities as far as fitting out a finished product is concerned. The other reductions in cost could come from some arrangement terms of basic training,development, refits and some other possibles.
