Problem is that the British carriers aren't nuclear powered... something about it halving the production and maintanence costs.

why spend so much money on ship that can be so easily sunk with a weapon that costs a mere fraction of its price :)

Can't speak for the tea swillers' ships but American ships can easily engage a missile that primative 
The ops video is about our new class of warship desighned to sink 36 of these at a time. As its got the best antimissile systems on the planet (CCP note the RN has fixed defenders) I think I should propose HMS Macross to the Navy to counter the Burger-scoffing Navy

i dont think truely modern militaries will engage in open war for anytime in the near future. mostly because two big nations in a true war, one would likely get an ichy trigger finger on a certain weapons class and then its Defcon 1 time.. of course that is why we have proxy wars where we give smaller countries modern weapons....
Exactly, so we should maintain a modern military to make sure other modern militaries, or ones that can blob us don't get any ideas 
And with regards to the number of aircraft carriers, I would have hope we would have a few more of them so we could maintain a force in each ocean, Atlandic, Pacific, Indian and home isles for starters.... I would have prefered some of the bailout money to be directed at the military, we build most of our own kit so it stimulates domestic industry.
Anyone know how an F22 (I think it was, the colaberative weapon with the yanks and a few other nations) vs the Navalised Typhoon on the supercarriers?

As far as i know, the F22 program was entirely US funded, and Lockheed Martin is actually under an export ban, they couldn't sell it if they wanted to. So as to the F22 facing off against the UK's Typhoon Navy Issue (seewhatididthere), it seems pretty unlikely.
Ah cool, thanks for the info 
One thing though, I looked up the F35 and it is a collaberative weapon [source] and the main partners are "The United Kingdom, Italy, The Netherlands, Canada, Norway, Denmark, Australia and Turkey".
