now they have their hands full because now having old ships around is not fancy any more...but an order is an order...
Plus , we buy some stuff to the americans in technology detection (I guess), so we are an ally...
but at the time, it was enough not to close the Galician astilleros (or was it in Andalucia this projector carrier and all that stuff... I always intercahnge both).
why didn't we ask them to build anotehr "Principe".. good question... I guess this one had more hours work and more engineers work and more...Keynnes load work per euro spent (I hope).
A pleasure I therefore claim to show, not how men think in myths, but how myths operate in men's minds without their being aware of the fact. Levi-Strauss, Claude
Santander (AFAIK) in Spain, and Belfast and the northest in the UK. (again AFAIK.) And I'll give my consent to any government that does not deny a man a living wage-Billy Bragg
what I do not know is why this type of carrier precisely and not any other one... maybe cheaper and more useful.. well actually useful...
So it either has to do with work load per unit of investment or something with the NATO.
Looking ahead to the day when the US inevitably does not have the seapower to control sea lanes plus fight all the wars our militarists will wish to fight with our big carriers ... that's outside the frame, but when it comes, Europe can rest assured that the prioritizing will be in terms of the sealanes that are seen as strategic for the US. I've been accused of being a Marxist, yet while Harpo's my favourite, it's Groucho I'm always quoting. Odd, that.
