I think the main reason certain people are a bit “pesimistic” as to UK’s future carrier capability, is that for the last 20 years there has been nothing but an uniterupted string of cuts in capbility. EVERY time the politicians cut the British armed forces, they come up with a new plan and try to assuage feelings by saying, to the effect, “These are the last. We’re good now and in a few years, we’ll, perhaps, maybe, start to build up again.” But not once has that happened. Its allways the same, after a couple years something else has to go and the plan changes. Its really very depressing stuff. So please, now, explain how this time is any different from last time. Seen it all befor……jag force, sea harrier, now JFH. So please excuse me and a few others if we’re not completely optimistic about the situation. I feel I’m just being realistic. Now………………hit me with the personal attacks. There is ALOT of that here.:(
