#1 The British tax payer will spend £7.8bn on foreigners this year, enough to pay for both Queen Elizabeth class carriers outright (at the original quote of £3.9 bn per carrier).

The British have a "conservative" government making aid for foreigners a priority over the Royal Navy and the defense of the realm. String them up.

#2 "Both countries would like to build but can't afford" > $$$ LEASEOUT OF USN NIMITZ-CLASS, CVN21, GATOR = AMPHIB CARRIERS???

Oer time, these CV's will evol towards asymmetric "humanitarian" missions + UNO = OWG-NWO "police actions" NOT high-intensive, lineal or "great power(s)" conventional, nuclear?warfighting.
