The United States should buy both Ark Royal and Invincible. They have recently been refit and they are the bargain of the century. They are perfect for the Marines who operate the Harrier and large Helos.

Would our boys be able to read the dials? I’m sure they’re written in UK English.

They are perfect for the Marines who operate the Harrier and large Helos. Which is why we have 10 LHA/LHDs in commission and more building. All can handle Harriers and all are more than twice as large as the British ships.

I knew someone who went on board Invincible 12 months ago and he said it felt like an “old ship”. The hull is quite thin now.

Ship's a hulk, ready for the scrapman's torch.
Unfortunately.
