I know we can,t afford to maintain or operate her, I know the training and logistics would be a deal killer, but I just can't get over the thought of a proper carrier in the RAN.
It is almost like a repeat of the late 70's early 80's, a very capable platform becomes available to Australia due to the short sighted, ideologically driven, stupidity of a new UK government.
The question is could we do it, buy the ship, convert her to operate our SH's and restructure our fleet around her? |
