Christ Almighty mate!
I'd like to think you're just being argumentative with your last reply compared to being very un-British!
I don't know where to start!
I think I'll just correct your last part, you are still thinking from a Falklands War point view instead of a modern view. In 1982 we needed the carriers (not to say we don't need them today either) to retake the islands because when the argentine forces invaded they didn't really have any opposition in the air, today, if you've read my thread on my detachment to the Falklands, we have four very sophisticated British designed, British built, heavily armed jet fighters called Typhoon (and yes they are British built at BAE Warton, and certainly British designed look for BAE EAP from 1986) that are capable of carrying almost 16 air to air missiles amongst other nasty weapons of war. They are supported by a brand new Airbus A340 'Voyager' air to air refueler and currently a C-130J with 4 helicopters for the heavy work. If I were an Argentine pilot flying an ancient Mirage or a slightly updated Skyhawk I think I wouldn't tackle a Typhoon would you? And then you've got the RN patrolling the seas too with either a frigate or destroyer with a hunter-killer sub somewhere around the islands too.
I'm not saying that we wouldn't need a carrier to retake the islands if the worst case scenerio happened but come on, it's just not going to be 1982 all over again, worst case they'll get a very bloody nose best case is that they carry on with negotiations with us.
