Aircraft carrier with no aircraft

A £3billion aircraft carrier will never carry planes and could see active service for only three years before being scrapped or sold, the Coalition Government was expected to announce today.

The move comes just 24 hours after Clyde shipyards celebrated after it was revealed that building work on two new carriers will go ahead as originally planned.
