TRADITIONALLY, champagne is only used to celebrate the launch of a new ship. But yesterday, the celebrations in dockyards across the UK - and in Scotland in particular - were for the announcement that in nearly a decade's time, two new vessels will eventually set sail. After years of dithering and delay, the government has finally confirmed that it will order two new aircraft carriers to replace the Royal Navy's ageing carriers. Costing £3.5 billion and weighing 65,000 tonnes, they will be the biggest military vessels Britain has ever built........
NO! COULD IT BE? FINALLY IS DIGINITY TO BE RETURNED TO THE ROYAL NAVY?
