I read in the news recently that due to MOD cuts the British and French Navies may start sharing Aircraft Carriers. I can see some pros and cons to this:

Pro's
Great on board catering
It will be a beautifully stylish ship
It will handle well
It will shift like a cat on a hot tin roof

Cons
It will be made of the plastic you get in trays of biscuits
the electrics will fuse every 2 weeks
the French will burn anything that is British

finally, if the ship sails anywhere near a German registered ship it will automatically raise the white flag and surrender
