I recall that just a few years ago it was said the carrier will not have enough aircraft, not enough crews, and the Royal Navy not having enough subs and surface combatants to effectively escort and protect her. What has come of all that?

P.S.
German wikipedia says the carrier's first mission assignmeent will lead it into the Chinese sea. Those escort units better are in place then. Regarding China, I see nothing as just symbolic anymore: anything can happen any time, anywhwere.
