I think these things are sitting ducks for the newer (and even the last) generation of anti-ship missiles. You read about some of the ones the Chinese claim to have (Mach 10) and it’s rather sobering. And they are massively expensive to build & operate.

Of course, Britain has no known history of overbelieving in its ships.

“I think these things are sitting ducks for the newer (and even the last) generation of anti-ship missiles.”

I have concerns for our own carriers in that regard as well. Not only the latest missles, but also overwhelming the defenses just with sheer numbers simultaneously.
