Guy- So what the hell is left to call a FLEET AIR ARM????????
Joint Force Harrier, until the JSF enters service. And all the helos.

When they got rid of the conventional CVs, they lost their true ability at sea
control. The JSF, altho whizbang, will not perform like a CV based A/C...in
terms of legs, capability, etc..Like the aluminum surface ships that got beat
up in the Falklands, it looks good on paper, it is cheaper but it won't do the
complete job.
