Britannia Rules The Waves No Longer

The UK and French navies have both fallen on hard times and now are planning on sharing aircraft carriers. The Royal navy is down to 88 ships and the French navy is down to 44 ships. By contrast the US Navy has 289 ships, the Russian navy has 136 ships, the Chinese navy has 138 ships and the Japanese navy has 76 ships.

I didn't know France had a navy. What would they ever do with it? It must be some tradition thing. Dunno?

This is interesting because French aircraft can't operate off Royal navy carriers nor can the UK aircraft operate off the French carrier. Hmmm?

Don't pout and be cross with me Molly. Britannia has fallen into history, soon to be only myth to your great grandchildren.
