Aircraft carrier burden 07.07.2011

It would cost more to cancel than to build two new 6 billion pound aircraft carriers, say the MOD.

The National Audit Office estimate that 1billion would be saved by building the carriers, even though the cost will 'significantly exceed 10billion.'

Which is a bit like saying that we have to have a nuclear war because we bothered to built nuclear warheads, or that you should spend money on a prenup if you are thinking of getting a divorce.
