  1.  @themanformerlyknownascomme777  it was not my question originally. But anytime you have defense policy going over several different governments. Getting a unified long-term Vision or policy is going to be difficult. At some point, the Royal Navy budget is going to be robbing Peter to pay Paul.

  5. ​ @themanformerlyknownascomme777 now you are sort of getting into a political /economic answer. The post-war UK governments changed a lot. And their primary focus was reducing the empire and taking care of domestic needs. You're also going to have to balance the needs of naval aviation with that of the nuclear force. Are you going to be able to afford missile submarines or an aircraft carrier?
