They are building 2 new Queen Elizabeth class carriers costing close to $5b, of which one will be immediately mothballed upon completion and possibly sold without ever being afforded an air wing. Because they're too expensive to operate and it's cheaper to build them than to cancel construction.
I'm so glad we don't have to deal with this kind of crap (hopefully).
Placing the HMS Prince of Wales indefinitely into "extended readiness" reserve though? How strangely appropriate.
