Procurement choices that removed useful British capability

Which recent disappointing military program would the panel change so that it was done properly?

The opening choices favour more fully equipped Type 45s and new-build Nimrods, with particular criticism of deleting Albion and Bulwark's hospital deck and helicopter hangar.

The question proposes twelve to fourteen fully equipped Type 45s or twenty-one new-build Nimrod MRA4 aircraft. Both examples are supported before the discussion concentrates on Albion and Bulwark. Their deleted hospital deck and hangar are criticised as facilities directly relevant to amphibious warfare. The hangar would have allowed the ships to repair their own helicopters. The objection concerns savings that removed functions the ships were expected to need.
