But as someone over at the Russian website Sputnik points out, whether an aircraft carrier is British or America:
| ... all it takes is one well placed super fast missile ... |
But given that these ships have been built and the fact that, at least to look at, they are mighty impressive ships, the best thing to do with them is convert them to emergency relief vessels. As such, they would be equipped with helicopters and fixed wing aircraft for the deliver food, water, a prefab hospital and other medical aid, temporary housing, and equipment for infrastructure repair wherever on the face of the earth life has been disrupted by hurricane, earthquake, volcanic eruption, tsunami or disease.
Such a transformation would provide concrete evidence of post-Brexit Britain's aim to be friend of all the world. Meantime, Britain should emulate Switzerland by creating a civilian militia, every able-bodied male between the ages of 18 and 65 to possess and know how to use a rifle — just to remind any future continental Hitlerian that invading Britain would be a bad idea.
Also, the Brits need to get back to training native citizens as engineers in place of the imported brains they've come, like the Americans, increasingly to rely on,. Then, purely for the purpose of deterrence, they should get back to the drawing board and develop a credible independent delivery system for Britain's nukes.
As for the Trident subs, they can sell 'em to the Canadians, to replace the earlier consignment of British-built dud subs now reaching the end of their expensively unproductive life.
