@privatecaboose250 Yeah... HMS Manchester, HMS Gloucester... in all fairness though the Type 42's are being decommissioned as the Type 45's are commissioned. We are getting half the number of Typ45's although they can in an "intensive attack" take on 5x the number of enemies as the Type 42.
If we had the Ark 4 in service the Argies wouldn't have dared in 82. Yet again we discard the Ark. I hope that just for once history breaks with tradition and doesn't repeat. Ark Royal 5 never got the chance to show her full potential - because all her adversaries knew you need a Nimitz class to stand a chance. The Torries are Army influenced muppets; no-one who'se not sea blind should entertain their policies.
This was Cameron's one mistake (along with cuts to the Army)... we should have kept the Navy strong.
