The article is under the title is as dramatic as the drastic title.
Revenge, a ship trying to do too much which got captured when it didn't run away as fast as the rest of its fleet.
Hood, a ship that wasn't fit for the job but had been delayed again and again for refits that were known to be needed even before she was commisioned in the first place.
Its funny that they use two defeats of the old RN in part due to financial and manpower constraints as glorious examples of what the new RN should follow.
By that logic they should favour not only the early retirement of Ark royal and the delay in replacement for Trident but they should support Ark Royals replacement by INS Viraat and cancelling the Trident replacement altogether while scrapping all but one of the current subs.
