Sad and stupid, I wish they had decided to downsize the Trident missiles instead

Trident is by far the most effective defense element that the UK has in its entire military and the most "tolerable" one from the viewpoint of cost-effectiveness and the non-profitability of defense expenditure.

Might be good at that but a carrier is more versitile

finfan is plotting the eventual Argentinian takeover of the Falklands.

As came up in prior threads, Ark is in bad shape, and needs a refit that money isn't there for.

Embarked on: HNLMS Karel Doorman A833
To do list:
-Zeven Provincien class cruiser
-Joint support ship all sides
-F124 Sachsen class frigate
-F125 Baden-Württemberg class frigate
-Clemencau class aircraft carrier
-Zeven provincien class frigate
-Poolster class AOR
-Amsterdam class AOR
-Minas Gerais aircraft carrier

The pictures are the outsides and a fresh coat of paint does wonders. Her machinery electronics, and other equipment is worn out, and second hand rumors are that she's a very unhappy ship right now.

It's a very bad thing...

Are the last ship of the class the HMS Illustrious (Invincible are already decommissionned), will be also decommissioned soon?

Greetings.
