According to Cdre. Mellett, “.....I could see clearly that I would never be able to compete in the context of large aircraft carriers or large submarines or Tomahawk missile deploying ships..."
Does that mean small aircraft carriers and small submarines are a possibility?

Not that I would accuse you of nitpicking, I believe he is making the distinction between our ''Corvette'' type Navy, as distinct from those who operate ''capital'' units, as his submission is for public consumption, not just for us in the 'know'', at the same time not ruleing out the possablity of our NS operating considerably larger vessels, which many are of the opinion that we must get, not to be the bully on the block, but because of the increasingly bad conditions encountered in the North atlantic.
Probally just stateing the obvious and definitly my own opinion."We will hold out until our last bullet is spent. Could do with some whiskey"
