Assigning two 12-aircraft squadrons to each of eight carriers creates 16 active squadrons. Procurement would probably exceed 300 Sea Harriers once the supporting organisation is included. Each participating country would need training and maintenance capacity as well as its operational aircraft. The comparison's historical baseline is 98 Sea Harriers.

Eight carriers change Sea Harrier production
A joint carrier fleet requires a much larger Sea Harrier purchase once national training and maintenance needs are included.
