Closed Bring back HMS Ark Royal and the Harrier Force

Closed on

The withdrawl of HMS Ark Royal and the Harrier Force has left the Royal Navy without fixed swing aircraft and seriously reduced the United Kingdom's defence flexibility. The withdrawl of the Harrier Force has had a similar effect and RAF Tornados have not being able to carry out an effective ground attack role in Libya. The Government should reinsate both of the above assets and also reconsider the current plan to use only one of the proposed Queen Elizabeth Class aricraft carriers in the future.
