Well, according to your link, that won't be rolling around the seas in an active sense until 2020.

When nations default on loans, no one makes them loans. People act like the US is unique for being so far in-debt. What they don't realize is that even China is 5 trillion in the whole. The countries that don't have much debt - Libya, Central African Republic, Grenada - tend not to be the best places.

Norway begs to differ.

We keep all out nukes on submarines anyway so this isn't necessary. Anyway we wouldn't need, or want to use them. Our conventional forces are enough to squash the argies, we don't want to go throwing nukes around over some rocks in the south atlantic.

Who're you gonna borrow carriers from?

Who needs them? Argentina has a fraction of the forces it did before, all their aircraft are the same old models, we have Type-45 Destroyers specifically designed to nail stuff like they fly en masse, and we have an airbase on the Falklands itself.

We've got the South Atlantic covered. And our navy can easily keep the Argentinian airforce grounded.

Looks like UK needs to keep a close eye on people stealing our oil again.

Though a type 45 destroyer could keep them from being sneaky
