As we all know, Australia wanted to buy HMS Invincible at the begining of 80s, but Falklands war stopped that. So Australia was offered HMS Hermes as a replacement and squadron of Sea Harriers. New Labour governent decided not to replace HMAS Melbourne.
How can we shift that descision, so that Australia get's HMS Hermes with Harriers. I presume that Hermes would be given practicly for free, and Harriers would have to paid for. The trouble is, Hermes was old and manpower requierments would be larger than for Melbourne.
So, how can we change that descision and have RAN with retained carrier capabilities?
