Well, not exactly. But it's close. It seems that Britain and France will be sharing aircraft carriers if all goes according to a plan currently being drafted by Cameron and Sarkozy. The details must be fascinating as I'm not entirely sure how such a plan would work out. I think that it must presume peace for the foreseeable future and that the only reason either power even needs carriers is for peacetime power projection and to not look like a couple of dunces next to the other world powers. It's a gamble and I'mnot entirely certain how it's going to work out.
