The Queen Elizabeth -class carriers are slowly coming online, fine ships, but due to their large cost rest of the RN has been gutted. WI SDR 1997 decided against carriers and decided to commit on, say, larger fleet of multi-purpose surface combatants and VL-tubes for Astute-class submarines for strike and air defence, and perhaps two less ambitious ships a la Conte Di Cavour or Juan Carlos?

Woud RN be better or worse off?
