'Navy chief: Britain cannot keep up its role in Libya air war due to cuts'

from the telegraph.................

"Adml Sir Mark Stanhope said the campaign would have been more effective without the Government's defense cuts.

The aircraft carrier and the Harrier jump-jets scrapped under last year's strategic defence review would have made the mission more effective, faster and cheaper, he said.

Sir Mark warned that the Navy would not be able to sustain its operations in Libya for another three months without making cuts elsewhere".............LINK
