I can understand cutting a carrier but it shouldn't have been the Mighty Ark, and the Harriers shouldn't have gone as it leaves us with a huge hole, they said there was no need for carriers at the moment, well their is now in libya, it's much cheaper to run a force from a carrier than it is from this base in Italy that we are currently using.
