Trident is by far the most effective defense element that the UK has in its entire military and the most "tolerable" one from the viewpoint of cost-effectiveness and the non-profitability of defense expenditure.

As came up in prior threads, Ark is in bad shape, and needs a refit that money isn't there for. |

Ark royal in bad shape?
The pictures are the outsides and a fresh coat of paint does wonders. Her machinery electronics, and other equipment is worn out, and second hand rumors are that she's a very unhappy ship right now.
