Yes we don’t often differ on objectives but if we do who gets to decide, can we say well the planes are on our deck so tough or do the US get to say we want our planes here so get going and take them.
It’s not availability I’m concerned about in that plan it’s those odd times when both nations want differing things. How would the RN feel if they have to send one of there only to flat decks in to an operation they don’t want to because the US want their aircraft there this is what I’m getting at as a problem with this plan.
