Two salvos and done. Not good.

Sadly, all the politicians probably care to see is the vessel deploying, which is the tick in the box they wanted; they do not understand the ramifications of the material state of the ship. I realize that that the Libya operation wasn't the Falklands, but it's the men on the line who pay if the ship is caught flat-footed by the unexpected. Plus, when politicians get away with saving money in this particular way it starts to become habit.
