Hmm, so why is Britain building 2 brand new 'Nimitz size' carriers then ?

Hardly that. Midway size.

And decades behind schedule, still no go ahead given on construction while
politicians bicker about whether they're needed in an age where a missile
can do everything cheaper and better (where have we heard that one

What do you mean - decades behind schedule ? When do you think they should be
delivered ?

We still have the 3 little carriers ( and a helicopter carrier too ) currently.
