The BBC has a report on the beginning of work on HMS Queen Elizabeth, the first of Britain's two next generation strike carriers, that includes this curious statement (emphasis added):The vessels will be capable of carrying up to 40 aircraft and will be used for a wide range of tasks, including supporting peacekeeping operations and conflict prevention.No, their purpose, and rightly so, is to wage war and strike fear into the hearts of our enemies. Otherwise, I don't see any point in them.

Surely an important role will be to support the crack 1st Social Work Commando--so much more reasonable than those noisy aircraft with the shooty things.
