Question.
if it's worth 200 billion £, as you say, that would be roughly S$420,546,574,515.78, again roughly 277,331,132,757.37 USD, Which is actually a lot, then why do they want to buy only two destroyers? Since that "whoever owns the waterways owns the world" saying still applies, does it not? Aircraft may be the most powerful machines available, but they still do not have the indefinite periods of stay-at-sea/air that the ships do.
