Who needs an aircraft carrier?

Yeah that was the other thing they mentioned, no other allied forces could land, hence why adaptations are being made.

But it would cost more money to get out of the contract than it would to carry on and build both?

Everyones slating this government, me personnal, I think they are doing a FAR superior job to those country ruining Labour idiots.

Cancel contract - No carriers, more debt.
Carry on contract, 2 carriers, less debt.

And at least they have identified the (yet another) screw up labour made, depsite huge resources and funding into palnning the carriers in the first place (which they totally screwed up on).

I don't watch debates, but I only had 2 channels in English, and as it was on one of the news channels, i watched it with interest. Labour got p'owned in that debate.
