Thanks for that. Our chaps will be happy that they remain stealthy as Russia has a long record of selling arms to pariahs. An ex navy Harrier pilot former colleague was rather critical of Gordon’s carrier order (political sop to Clydeside). To big for a VTOL fighter and too short for flat deck regular aircraft. The contracts were allegedly so punitive to cancel, we had to proceed. Allegedly, HMS Prince of Wales has spent 90 days at sea in 2 years. As have some new frigates. Leaks. Bit like my first Ford escort banger in the 70s
