This contract to build these carriers was a complete disaster and typical of the MOD in matters like this. There is a complete disconnect between the frontline personel who are amongs if not the finest in the world and the administrative side that fails them every time. It is time cut's were made on the administrative side and not the frontline side because we have more desk warriors then active serrvice personelin our army it' s ridiculous. I remember speaking to IDF troops albeit many years ago and how they are setup so much more efficient then how we do things.

I think israel has less then 1500 people in it's appropreations department whilst we have nearly twenty thousand (might be a little out on figures as i'm remembering years ago) also they have a lot of former service people from the various branches whose input is welcomed and acted on in relation to equipment we do not. Well technically we do but at the end of the day they get ignored if the desk warrriors think they know better. Massive chunk of the defence budget is taken up by the admin side and the stupid decisions they continue to make day in day out.
