Britain’s carriers were essential during the Falklands War, so I would not scrap ours just yet.

no one is proposing scrapping them. they article says don’t sacrifice the rest of the navy to build new ones. you have to have the other ships that surround carriers for them to be effective deployed otherwise they are too valuable to risk.
