Petition Urgent review of Royal Navy capabilities, with immediate action on results.

The Harrier Jet was scrapped by the UK in 2010, (USA will scrap them in 2025). Our last Aircraft Carrier was scrapped in 2016.
The replacement will enter service possibly in 2020.
I want our Government to immediately find a solution to this massive capability gap and implement it without delay.

More details

The Harrier Jump Jet was scrapped in 2010 (USA will scrap them in 2025). Our last Aircraft Carrier was scrapped in 2016.
No replacement has yet entered service. The MOD accountants have left this once great Maritime Nation defenceless. Utter madness to dispose of essential defence equipment before the replacement has been thoroughly trialled and allowed to enter service.
I want our Government to immediately find a solution to this massive capability gap and implement it without delay.
