Unlike WW1 WW2 convoys the threats are so utterly inferior to the defenders the ratio of ships to warships can be very low.

Still, with these modern threats it's good to know the UK has ordered two massive aircraft carriers rather than many smaller more adaptable ships.

Odd that the buzzwords in the army are flexibility and adaptability to changing threats, whereas the Navy want two massive ships for in ill defined purpose - more strange when the old aircraft carriers were viewed as too large and these are larger...
